Thanks for the info on alternative sources for parts. Sorry the drawing looks like the work of a 5-year old with a crayon - my skills as a draftsman are very limited!! Camera still on walkabout so its all I have - tried a couple of pics with phone, but frankly not even worth posting. Mine is reasonably accurate, too, provided I use jacketed or plated bullets. I have often wondered if Marlin wouldn't have been a better bet, but actually, despite the questionable quality of many of its internals, I like the feel of the trapper - like I said before its light and handy. I think it could be fairly easily produced with a dremel and a bit of ingenuity. Basically the pin sits in the hole in the square lug under the bolt, and the upper protrusion slides in the groove offset on the underside of the bolt, held in place by a small roll-pin through said slot.
The spring guide pin is all part of the same piece. Asher RiflemanĪsher - yes, your description of a bent bit of steel with a slot is about right. Very friendly service, too: I ordered my cartridge block from them. Spares are also available from Homestead parts in the US who will ship to the UK and have flat international shipping rates. As I understand it, that ridiculous bit of spring steel is only found in the. This allowed cartridges to jam under the lifter and someone has brought the lifter down on the round and sheared the end off the lifter. Looking at my example of winchester's finest, it's demise appears to have been thus: the cartridge block spring is broken and the retaining pin at the front of the link has worn. Looking at your drawing, what we're talking about is essentially a bent bit of metal with a slot in it and a pin on one end for a spring? Essentially the sort of thing one could make up from an appropriate chunk of flat bar hotworked and dremmelled into shape? I'll have a pop at knocking something up this week.
Now I'm looking at the winchester and wondering why I ever sold my old marlin on! I wonder why I keep it really, but it is a really handy little carbine, when its working.Ĭheers for the sketch BD! I've been on the Bisley Club Instructors course today (hence the late reply) and the heartless buggers brought out an 18" marlin CS. I see Numrich Arms in the USA have spare ones. Sure enough - it seems not to be feeding correctly now!! I think it was OK last time I shot it when I put it away!! While it was stripped, I found that mine has broken the flimsy bit of spring steel on the lever extension - I think they call it a "cartridge block".

Of course, on the off chance that someone has the parts of a busted ejector which they no longer need, I would be delighted to take it off their hands as a model for a replacement part. 357 possibly provide me with some dimensions, please? Photos of the offending part in plan and elevation all round next to a ruler or tape would be ideal (I found some images on google, but nothing useful). To do this, however, I need to know what the original looked likeĬould a helpful forum member with an intact winnie. Since the factory part is neither obtainable or, indeed, desirable, I intend to build one*. The most broken part in the history of all firearms and general, all-around bad egg. I need to build up the cartridge block on the link and reshape it and I should be back in business. So far I've rebuilt the carrier using shelving spares, weld and a certain amount of foul language, ordered the elusive cartridge block spring from the US and have generally clawed something approaching new life from her. 94's of its ilk, its guts were hanging out and I had some work to do. 357 mag, at a firesale price through these very forums (cheers Deallad!). I recently picked up an externally nice Winchester 94AE in.
