Need A Grade Right Side Ejector

Post by Mike »

Anyone have any source suggestions for the complete right side ejector of a 12 ga. A Grade ejector? Would take a complete (left & right) set if necessary. Tried AH Fox Parts/Pumpkin Mtn Guns, but they're apparently still not taking orders, etc..

The same basic R & L ejectors were used 12 gauge Sterlingworth thru F-Grade. Is your right ejector lost? If not how is it broken or defective? I ask these questions because used ejectors are not readily interchangeable and typically take some fiddling and fitting by someone who knows Foxes.

So Sterlingworth ejectors would work in an A grade?

The "support rod" under the right side (tip/end) of the right ejector kept coming loose and was soldered back in place twice. In line with the old adage of the charming 3rd time, when the gunsmith tried to, I believe, weld it this time, it would not hold at all and he feels that the metal is so hold that the ejector has to be replaced. The gunshop is having trouble finding the part and asked me to help, particularly through this forum.

This is somewhat of a "cosmetic" repair, as the ejector actually functions OK w/o the support rod, but I would like the gun to be "in proper repair". That said, if this search becomes too ridiculous I may just continue to shoot the gun the way it is; the smith has said that would still be possible. But first I'd like to try to exhaust any chance of getting a complete replacement.

Thanks for your help.

We call the support rod a guide pin. It’s not really a cosmetic repair, sooner or later the torque from closing a fired/ejected Fox with a missing guide pin is likely to break the stem where it attaches to the back of the ejector. frank

Thanks for the information, Frank. Glad to know the proper term for the guide pin. I'll continue trying to get the ejector fully repaired as I don't want to run into the problem you describe. Additionally, as I mentioned before, I don't like having a gun that isn't in full repair and function. Looks like Bobby may have the ejector I need. Appreciate you help.
