I just took a Bryco 38 380ACP home from my stepson to help him fix his gun. The gun just all frozen up. I finally took it apart, everything is gummed up, must not been fired for decades!!!. At the process, I notice the firing pin always stuck out as long as it's not cocked. On closer examination, the gun doesn't have an ejector!!! I conclude that the firing pin IS the ejector. It only retract when it is cocked, so after it fired, the pin serves to push the casing out!!! Here is the picture showing the firing pin sticking out normally.
Anyone familiar with this gun? It's the same maker of my former Jennings 22LR that was a piece of junk. I wonder anyone can confirm that the firing pin is the ejector. I need to give advice to my stepson whether he should even try shooting the gun.
I watched a few youtube, seems like this gun actually is more reliable than my Jennings 22LR, a few actually shot 10+ rounds without a jam. I cannot say about my Jennings.
The gun doesn't look like it's been shot a lot. More just sitting around. I am planning to polish the feedramp and the chamber for him to improve the feeding, beyond that, I am just going to leave it alone.
It missed the orange loaded indicator, I wonder whether that's important.
