Philadelphia Arms Extractor parts
Philadelphia Arms Extractor parts
I have a friend with serial #51 incomplete an he is needing the forearm hardware. Can the new ejectors be modified to work or will he need the first ejector design?

Re: Philadelphia Arms Ejector parts
Previous to this gun, the 84 Philadelphia Arms Co. guns (or parts thereof) that I've recorded have serial numbers from 59 to 1846 and are all extractor guns. The one ejector gun that has surfaced has a serial number in the 26xx range, and its ejectors certainly aren't of the Max Wirsing design from Patent No. 767,621 that was assigned to Philadelphia Arms Co. Neither of the known Philadelphia Arms Co. catalogs, 1904 and 1905, mention or price ejectors, but the order form in the 1905 catalog has the line "Ejector or Non-ejector__________________________________________".
The extractor guns only have a guide pin for the extractor on the left side --
so a hole for a guide pin under the right barrel could be a clue for an ejector gun.

Re: Philadelphia Arms Ejector parts
Researcher your comment have been are tremendously helpful. As you can see above the Philadelphia arms is an extractor gun per your detailed pictures. You are a great and knowledgeable resource. No we just need to locate the proper parts. Hopefully finding extractor parts will be much easier than the ejectors.
thanks so much again.
