Sharp ejectors

[Gareth0689]

I bought a new Guerini trap gun about a month back, put around 3000 cartridges through it but the ejectors are still very sharp. It cuts me pretty much every time i use it. I love the gun but that is starting to get annoying now.

 

If i took it to a gunsmith would they be able to do something about it? If so can anyone recommend a good one in south wales, west mids or the south west?

Buy some gloves, or some wet&dry to take the edges back a touch?

I used to cut my fingers to shreds on my 686E when I bought it mate. I got a pair of gloves which solved the problem. They aren't as sharp now the gun has worn in a bit.

Yeah, a little bit of wet and dry paper will cure that but clean it all out/off after or it may act as grit causing trouble further down the line. Wash it off with Napier oil or WD40 or similar.

WD40 and anything you cant access entirely to re-lubricate is a no no.

 

Just use some wet and dry, shouldn't take much to take the edge off it.

Your not the first to say not to use WD40 but I`v used it most of my shooting life and so has MIKE GEORGE Technical editor of Sporting Gun Magazine fame. Neither of us have ever had any problems with it unless you put it on your gun and then put it away for months on end. .It basicly only lasts 40 days hence the name.

I personally only use it for flushing as it`s cheap compared to Napier etc and then I always wipe it off and lube with Napier or Legia.

Have you had problems with it then dunganick ?

I,ve got a small square Arkasas stone thats ideal for this job-pm me your address and i will pop it in the post for you as long as you send it back when you,re done-or see if you can get one at a local engineering merchant.

Water Displacement #40. The product began from a search for a rust preventative solvent and degreaser to protect missile parts. WD-40 was created in 1953 by three technicians at the San Diego Rocket Chemical Company. Its name comes from the project that was to find a 'water displacement' compound. They were successful with the fortieth formulation, thus WD-40. The Corvair Company bought it in bulk to protect their atlas missile parts.

Flat swiss file and 5 min's work no sharp edges.

It works great to break down lubricants (it acts as a degreaser). So if you spray it near the action and some makes its way inside, any of the components that should be greased will no longer be, and unless your servicing yourself its going to be difficult to re apply.

 

If it works for you then there is no arguing with that, however i know i used to use it on my bike and its led to the premature failure of both of the wheel bearings. Personally i find grease works better, lasts longer and i have better control of where it goes.

 

Each to their own i guess.

I suppose it could be the difference between someone using it and then applying something else afterwards and some one using it as oil.

Well I`m blowed, I was told it was what I said about the 40 days by the rep. both make sense but I like your answer better.
