Sometimes complex mechanisms fail and we expect a complex solution will be required - but start with the basics before making adjustments! Common Failings. The first thing to look for with a Baker system ejecting poorly is the springs, the coil springs in your baker ejector are probably approaching their centenary year, and can be found in bits and pieces; the broken remains of the spring getting smaller and smaller and not providing adequate ejection force.
This rod guides the kicker in its table up and down the ejector box and damage here can lead to annoying intermittent faults. This being the case, it is all too easy for damage and wear to contribute to timing faults. Accidental damage is sure to occur if a forend is forcibly installed with tripped ejectors on such small parts. Damage here requires a new ejector box to be made or fitted.
I was unfortunate enough to not be able to source parts for this system from any of the usual suspects at the time the job was in the workshop; though it has since been brought to my attention that spares are available which may save a few pounds. Machining a new ejector box is a more of a fiddly operation than it is a complex one. Like most machine work, good planning saves a lot of difficulty. Holding the part gets harder and harder as the ejector box gets smaller and smaller.
Lewis Potter looks at the inner workings of a shotgun to explain and illustrate how a shotgun works. Main spring: This applies force to the hammer. On classic British shotguns a leaf spring is used as opposed to coil springs. Leaf springs are still used in most British shotguns and are seen as a sign of quality. Cocking limb : The cocking limb resets the chain reaction. When the gun is opened, the cocking limb is forced down by the fore-end to the point at which the hammer, main spring, sear and trigger are back in their original positions in bent.
Kicker : The kicker, when released, is sprung by the ejector spring into the extractors to eject the cartridges. The kicker will only release and expel the cartridge if it has been fired.
The mechanical process for this is related to the lock mechanism, as the movement of the cocking limb releases the kicker. Ejector spring : The ejector spring, when one or both cartridges have been fired, forces the kicker into the extractors to expel the used cartridge from the barrels. It does this by preventing the barrels from pulling off the action body breech face, as it is secured through the loop on either the Deeley catch or Anson rod, and around the action knuckle.
The loop : This section of the gun is attached to the barrels and, on this model, the Deeley catch holds the fore-end and fore-end wood onto the barrels as the fore-end pivots around the knuckle of the action. Deeley catch: This has three components: the catch case, the catch itself and a spring forcing the catch back into place. The catch is used to attach the fore-end onto the barrels and it hooks around the loop. It was named after one of the original designers of this style of boxlock this gun is based on the Anson and Deeley design.
Doing so should save a bit of wear on the gun. Does removing the ejector springs still lift the shell for extraction? TC - Yes, the extractors do still lift the shells for extraction. The extractors are operated either by a "whack" from the ejector hammer or from bearing on a camming surface that will force them back and hold the back until the gun begins to close. Jim Legg.
Most that I've seen are like a regular lock, with a sear and hammer. The Southgate style, uses an "over the center" spring point to snap the hammer, no sear. Interesting stuff.
