Broken Ejector Guide Pin repaired

Post by Jim McKee »

Hi!
Drove the nearly 350 mile round trip to Matt Begley's place Saturday in western Ohio. In less than 1.5 hrs he replaced the broken ejector guide pin.
Will test on the clay's range later this week.
It was enjoyable talking with him!

Tested the replaced ejector guide pin today at the clay's range. Worked as expected.

Just as an FYI. Matthew was a part time gunsmith for years and a full time teacher. I heard yesterday he left the teaching profession and will now be a full time gunsmith. That should increase the through put times as they say. Big congrats to him for following his dreams.

Matt did a first class repair on two broken guide pins for me. I met Matt at the Southern and he is a first class individual in my opinion. Very glad to hear he is going full time as a gunsmith.
