Another Gadget and Another Buck Saved

[Lapua40X]

Gadgets, to paraphrase a famous quote, are born of necessity. They're also born out of a lack of available cash. When a necessity connects with a lack of available cash it's time to get creative.
I needed a tool for ejector removal/replacement. So I made one and I'd like to share my experience with anyone who might like to read about it.
So, here's the link:

real cool!! wasnt to long ago i launched the ejector and a spring on a 700. Needless to say they were air soluable.

Lots of ingenuity here!............ Seems like half the fun of shooting/ reloading is making your own special tools. Nice job!

 

[DanConzo]

Thanks Lapua. Good job.

You do really nice work. For those who may be more challenged in that area, if you start the retaining pin with a punch of about the same diameter, and then pull the end of a zip lock bag around the end of the bolt, wrapping around the punch slightly, the bag will contain any launching of the ejector, when the punch is removed.

Good use for a rainy day. Much better than cleaning up the reloading room.

Very nice. Make a few more and take it to market.See how fast you can sell 15 or so and you might have another source of income. I'll offer $15 for an exact copy for my 40X. Tom

This is the way my ejector is held down, made from coat hanger wire.
