P14 Ejector are they Chicken's teeth?

[stefanvan]

I have a beautiful Cogswell & Harris P14 rifle, but unfortunately the ejector is broken.
The search for a replacement part has been a lot less fruitful than expected.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

I do have a friend who can laser cut a pert out of sheet (spring) steel, but then I will need a CAD file.
If someone can email me a photocopy or normal drawing I can manually fabricate one out of spring steel...

Thus, any help would greatly be appreciated.

Thanks,
Stefan.

I broke one on my P14 in 7x64 when firing a 270 cartridge by mistake. I was lucky that the gunsmith got a replacement, but he said he could fix it by brazing the two pieces. I chose the replacement. Can you not get it scanned so as to get a CAD file?

You are lucky to have found a replacement.
Actually I got the rifle without the ejector, so I can not create a copy or have it scanned :-(

Try Classix Arms in Witbank and ARMS in Pretoria. If no joy then try every gunsmith you can find.

Contact Advanced Guntech in Potchefstroom (They are now Wildman Potchefstroom): 018 297 4702

Ask for Gerrit and tell him the ds from Stella referred you.

They used to have boxes of 303 spares, and some of it is still there.

He should be able to find something.

If you want to expand your search to Aus and find something we might be able to make a plan.

Some good advice...
I'll get back on the trail next week :-)

Arms are another potential source worth trying.
