Excellent work indeed by both parties, I now have two very well made ejectors with many thanks to Rambo's efforts, Dave did just as well it's just a shame that some toe rag stole our parcel and then probably threw the hole lot in the bin when they realised that it was just full of unrecognised spare parts.Quote:

Hence my last line "you live and learn"
Same here, parts received, great quality
Well three of the ejectors got to this side of the Atlantic safely this time........fortunately. Thanks chaps, to everyone involved in the project to produce them.
The problem with DTC ITAR licensed and controlled shipments containing gun parts is there are NO common carriers that will accept the shipments from the USA. The USPS doesn't offer insurance for UK shipments so the only LEGAL way to ship other than USPS is by air freight which gets considerably more expensive. I realize folks are posting parts back and forth all the time over borders but that doesn't make it LEGAL.
I have a No7, which works perfectly at present, but you never know.
I think sometimes we probably go out our way to source some bits just in case....but will probably never need to use them. I'm guilty of such a crime regarding my Matchless WD G3L, only basic bits such as magneto parts etc, but when I think of the miles its going to do (not many in our climate) I'm holding off until the need arises, I found a site that supplies all sorts of parts for very reasonable prices, inlet and exhaust valves for £15 and valve guides for £10........they probably will be needed in the engine rebuild but won't know until its on the bench in bits......Quote:

There are other major parts but not the fault of the rifle........
Thanks Bruce , please let me know , Take care, John.Quote:
