Winchester 94 AE 357 Ejector problem?

[1066]

I hope you knowledgeable guys will be able to help. I have had my Winchester 94AE .357 for many years and really like it. However, over the years I have broken the ejector once or twice but replaced them with no trouble, now it seems, these parts are virtually unobtainable anywhere and especially here in the UK. This weekend it happened again on the range, the tang of the ejector has broken off and the spring has disappeared.

So - I have a home workshop and plan to make up a couple of ejectors and wind a couple springs as a backup.
Could anyone tell me the inner/outer diameter and length of the spring or the diameter of the wire used and also the diameter of the little roll pin?

What cheer! I am hoping this be of help: A New York state US based firm, Gun Parts Corp., upon a search for "94AE Ejector" shows the attached photo results. https://www.gunpartscorp.com/catalog...ult/?q=ejector Again, I hope this may be what you wish?

Send an e-mail to Midwest Gun Works. Even though they don't ship internationally, they are very helpful and I bet they would take the measurements for you.

Thank you chaps - I tried Midwest Guns and received a reply next day - Unfortunately couldn't help.

So - a few practice runs in the workshop, and can now turn out a reasonable spring. I tried it this morning and pleased to report it's working perfectly.

Awesome! I have found charts with dimensions and poundage of common hardware springs that I have used before.
