Hello, this is my first rifle project. I am building a mauser rifle. I am using a 1909 Argentine receiver that I got off gunbroker - bolt and receiver only. It needs everything else.
I am stuck on the ejector. I got a K98 ejector, and installed it. Problem is that the blade is not deep enough into the bolt to touch the case and eject it.
I looked at it closely. The spring is good. It seems that when the ejector/bolt stop box screw is installed, the section of the blade between the hole (that the screw goes through to mount to receiver) and the bolt stop hits the side of the receiver - causing the blade to not pertrude fully 'into' the bolt...
I can remove material from the receiver to fix this but that seems wrong.
I can grind the ejector blade also, but that seems wrong too.
I have searched the 1909 argentine ejector and it seems the ejector/bolt stop box on these is different - but I am not sure. I see some with the same unit as mine, and some not.
The receiver I got is stripped so I just figured that any K98 bolt stop unit would work..
I am wondering if anyone has any experience with this? Is the 1909 Argentine ejector unit unique to itself (as I understand a lot of mauser parts are interchangeable)...Thanks in advance..
