When you guys said 5 t0 6 thousands was more the norm I figured I'd better recheck so I starting putting in temporary shim material in the hook and then using the micrometer instead of using feeler gage barrel to fence. The needed shim thickness get the gun on face and .005 to .006 off the flats is about.004, which is very good news.
The broken ejector is not good news as it is Deeley patent ejector 1767 which I understand is a [censored] to work on. I can't understand how to take it apart to inspect it. Which is probably just as well. Right now the right barrel extract and the left barrel ejects. I may have to live with that for a while, but I would appreciate some recommendations for ejector work and an idea on how much this will cost.
The interior looks quite good. I believe it is older then I thought. Pre 1925 for sure, maybe pre WWI.
I think I'll get it back on face and shoot this year to see how I like the gun. Maybe a redo next year, a full redo is going to be expensive. Maybe one item a year is doable

004 is about the thickness of a sheet of typing paper. You can shim it with the paper to figure out some of the other issues prior to getting anything hot enough to solder.
I figured .012 was a mistake after seeing the photos-I don't think the dolls head would fit into the frame at .012 wear.
I'd likely disable the ejectors until I figured out what I had and what it needed. There are few times an ejector is really needed. Never, at my house.
You can approach these projects from the heart (usually ending up with more into it than it's worth) or, from the head, with just enough into the gun for satisfactory performance.
Best,
Ted

Ted Wise words if only I would follow them. But the truth is I'm ready to deactivate the ejector but don't know how. I had a leak in my tool shed which ruined my micrometers, all I had left was one in mm. I must have fouled up the conversion calculations somewhere along the way.
