Hi

This old Bacsi got a Colt Ace 22 conversion , no documentation . I can't figure out where/ how the Ejecter mounts ? I would appreciate some advice.

The early conversion units had a milled ejector and the later ones had a stamped ejector. The ejector goes under the spring on the left side of the chamber area.

If we gave them an aspirin it was "bacsi"

Mr Peppers: What are your opinions on Ace accuracy or kits vs Ace compared to other .22 pistols (Mod 41, H.D. Woodsman etc.) ?
Thank you.

I think the Model 41 would probably be the more accurate out of the box. It was the pistol of choice for RF competition when I shot bullseye matches.

The Colt conversion unit was not a tack driver. I had one that someone fitted a bushing to, and it was an improvement over the stock unit, but nothing to compare with a S&W.
One of the most accurate .22's I ever shot was a Clark conversion of the Ruger Mk I. He fitted his own trigger and used a Douglas barrel.

it has been tweeked by F.Bob Chow and shoots better than I can. I've also owned the HD and Woodsman, neither of which were as good. I've been fascinated with the Ruger for years, but there just aren't many out and about and I really can't justify a new one. Everything Ruger makes has a lot of solid engineering behind it. Thanks for your opinions.
