Ejector Broken, Can I Remove And Still Fire?

[Craig Fosse 286]

Hi guys, the ejector broke on my old single barrel shotgun today and it's restricting me opening the action(break barrel) it was made in 1958 so there is little chance of me finding another so I was wondering if I can just remove the ejector and finger pull the rounds, is this a dangerous idea or is it a safe thing to do?

if you tilt the barrel upwards it should open as the pin will slide back and you will get a pin from chambers gun spares but you will need to modify it to fit most liikely

I have taken the retaining pin out mate and pulled the whole extractor out, was just wondering if I could use it like that or if it's best to try and get one fitted

if its a straightforward pin you can make one from a tungsten carbide drill bit of the same diameter and an angle grinder

Yer that's not the problem, the problem is the ejector is bent mate, and I can't bend it back, the extractor still works tho, just wondering if I could just leave the extractor in and keep the ejector out(I was hoping to use it tomorrow )

Yes mate a aya mod astr ciclope single barrel 12g was made in 1958, I contacted aya over stock and they don't have ANY parts for it anymore

here ask him to strip the spare you need and scrap the rest http://www.gunstar.co.uk/Shotgun-for-sale/Trade-ads/AP/Shotguns?ads_pid=15&ads_i=1&order=lowest

looking at that the aya cosmos is identical

I have tried but then again mate £40 for the ejector, I'm half tempted just to give up on it to be honest

to be honest in the trade they're worth nothing infact most rfd`s will charge you to take it in over here

I also tried to contact this guy but he hasn't got back to me at all, is it dangerous to just use it without the ejector in it? I'm pretty sure the extractor will work if I just keep that in
