I’ve just bought a Barnard P rifle second hand. I didn’t realise that it was fitted with an ejector. Ejectors are one of my pet hates.
How would I go about deactivating the ejector?

Re: Barnard Ejector
Can you just remove the spring??
My spring became gunked up and jammed making my bolt a non eject for a while

Re: Barnard Ejector
The ejector is held in by a roll pin 2mm diameter by about 7.8mm long.
You need to punch that out with a suitable punch.
I don't know how strong the ejector spring is, pretty weak I would imagine given the size of it, but take care and wear safety glasses.
My ejector, spring and roll pin live unused in a plastic bag, the correct place for them

Yes ok thanks, I get that, removing the spring is obvious, but then if you just put the roll pin back in does the ejector wobble about without a preload on it, and will it still sit flush with the face of the bolt?
I would have thought epoxying it in might be the way to go.

Re: Barnard Ejector
Just remove the whole lot. No need to refit ejector minus the spring. The small open hole is not an issue.
