chrisp Posted May 18, 2017 Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 Im still waiting on my certificate to come through but ive been offered an old baikal sbs for free when ive got my ticket Trouble is the ejectors are worn and every now and then one will stick and the gun will need stripped and lubed to release it Ive spoken to york guns and im told parts arent available atm due to restrictions on arms trading with russia ! but tbh the guns not worth much anyway (theres a similar one on here for £70) The guy who currently has the gun isnt very technicaly minded so im wondereing if i would be able to clean up the ejectors so they would function better The gun would only be for pest control and rough shooting so would be perfect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HW95J Posted May 18, 2017 Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 Do you know what model it is? I believe on most of them the ejectors are easy to remove for cleaning, mine was only extractor but it was simply a case of removing one screw. Alternatively I think many if not all Baikals have the option to disable ejection which would still leave you with a basic but functional shotgun.

Im assuming being an ejector its an ij 58 ,from what he says when they stick you need to pry out the spent cartridge with a knife or similar as the ejector wont even come out enough to get your fingers behind the neck of the cartridge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenergp Posted May 18, 2017 Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 Get yourself a short length of 15 mm copper pipe 2 or 3 inches long and fill with lead, so when the ejector sticks just drop the lead filled pipe down the barrel from the muzzle ans it will knock the spent case out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted May 18, 2017 Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 You might find that it is the cartridge and not the ejectors at all - I have a Silver Kestrel that used to fail to eject on a regular basis, after spending hours cleaning the ejectors and springs to no avail I tried a different brand of cartridge and not failed to eject since.

chrisp Posted May 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 Thanks for the advice ,thats a good trick with the lenght of tube ,the gun not liking a brand of cartriges would be the best outcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
