First a short introduction. I am a gunsmithing student at Montgomery Community College in Troy, NC. One of the projects I am working on is a Ansley H Fox CE grade. It does have numerous issues but the one I am working on right now is to repair the ejector guide pins.
When I received the gun, both of the pins were broken off in the monoblock. I successfully removed those. I now need to remove the other side of the pin from the ejector. On this, I have a few questions. I checked to see if the pin goes all the way through the ejector. It does not appear to be the case (to check, I used some cold blue to see if it shows a difference between the pin and ejector). So, if the pin does go in a blind hole, I need to know if it is pressed in, threaded in or installed in some other way. Removing the old pin also i a little more problematic this way as we do not have a small drill chuck for a mill that can clear the shaft of the ejector. Here is a picture to show where the pins are broken of in the ejectors.
One way I can do this is to drill from the other side of the ejector, press fit a new guide pin, weld it in place and dress the ejector down to dimension again.
I did post this on the Fox Collectors forum as well. I would appreciate any ideas and suggestions.
