The steady pin is driven in but the thing we may all been missing is that there is a second pin driven across the steady pin from the side of the ejector in order to hold it in place. This has to be drilled out first as it is a blind pin and does not go all the way across the ejector I do not think.

Under magnification I can see where the second pin is actually breaking through the face of the ejector by me trying to whack the steady pin out without first removing the second pin.

OH well it had to happen. The ejector is not beyond repair but I imagine some tig is the future.

Anyone want to sell me a spare 16 bore LC Smith FW right side ejector so I can at least get up and running for the dove opener?

Thanks
