What is the purpose of the Ejector Screw?

[Patt14 No2]

I have lots of long ejector screws (and the rear mounting screw for the PH5C), they are over length and will need trimming and are in the white. I bought them nearly 30 years ago from a local engineering company here in the UK. PM me your address and I can send you one.

Thanks for the offer. I'll keep your offer in mind. I have a bunch of BA threaded screws, and a set for a PH5A, on the way so I'll give these a try first. I was able to find a source for these here in the USA: https://britishfasteners.com/

I realize the difference in the threads between No1 and No4 models. The similarity is in the function, not the thread form and pitch.

As much as a Gew 98 is "similar" to a Type 99 Arisaka or an 03A3 Springfield or M-17.

Maybe a better word might be "analogous"?
