WANTED - Martini International ejector

[ovenpaa]

I need an International ejector claw please - to suit the Mk2-Mk5.

Anyone?

Think you'll find hen's teeth easier to find. Seem to be made in the states http://tinyurl.com/y9jyw37w

Mine came with a spare which is being carefully stored for the day its needed.

[ovenpaa]

Yes, that is the only active reference to spares I have found and they will not ship. I can feel another project coming on :(

I do wonder if this has come about from one of the members at our club... i pointed him in your direction as someone who may be able to make a replacement following his failure on saturday.

Doh!

[ovenpaa]

Yes that is the one, he is sending me his broken bits to see if I can effect a temporary repair to get him going whilst I think about doing a run of a dozen or so. The problem is they appear to be totally unobtainable, my UK contacts have long since run out of spares and all of a sudden Internationals are going for good money so the option of breaking one (Heaven forbid) is no longer on the cards.

[dromia]

I'd be down for half a dozen if you did a run.

[ovenpaa]

Half a dozen?

That would make a big difference to my decision on if I am prepared to do a run or not as I would prefer not to have a box of the things sitting on the shelf for 5 years.

well that is the main thing that writes them off

do you just need one to be able to copy?

Given the surge in popularity of these rifles for benchrest - nationally from what i've seen as well as locally (there's about 6 at our club used in competition at the moment) I think it would be a very good thing to have a stock of these as I could see a stock getting used quickly. Heck, given Johns latest failure I'm sure a couple of folks at our club would look at getting one as a spare depending on price...!

I have a couple of functioning International rifles here and a new spare ejector coming for me to look at so between them I should be able to get some reasonable dimensions.
