Well, when I last posted here Claudio had been working away on getting the wood back into shape. Today we are going to cover a completely different type of work....the ejectors. Although the first bit to see is that hallmark of Lindner...the little cats eyes screws on either side of the forend so there is a bit of wood involved. Then we move onto pure metal work.

So as we find so often on these old guns, it seems that someone who shouldn't got a hold of a screw driver and went to work:



A bit of overzealous inletting meant a sliver of wood needed to be inserted. You can see the repair if you look closely at the finished picture. Lower left of the cats eye. Claudio ended up having to make one new screw and time the other properly. An interesting note, the two screws are of different size to ensure they are not mixed up. At some later point he will properly engrave the head of the new screw.
