I have a customer's .410 bore with a hacked up ejector , some idiot ground
the lip off and attempted a repair . The spring is also missing , but that's
a minor issue that can be solved at the local hardware store . I need to
build this up and reshape it , and planned on using a nickel-based brazing
rod - unless someone can suggest a better alternative . If I were a better
TIG weldor ... but this is a very small piece and my skills are not up to
fine work just yet . O/A is going to be my method of choice this time .
Since the shank portion of this piece is case hardened I'll be wrapping it
in wet paper towels or something and covering that with foil .

Hi Terry
For stopping/slowing down the heat migration take a look at a product
called "Heat Fence" by American Chemical and Flux Products, City of
Industry, CA 91745.

It's a dark gray, paste like 'clay' that you spread over the area you
don't want heated.

(sample description and pricing he
http://www.jandrweldingsupply.com/store/HeatFence.html

Should be available at your local welding supply store.

Have used it several times and it works better than anything I've used
before.

I wish we had a real welding supply here ... I'll check the few places
auto parts stores and a hardware store that sell welding supplies . Who
knows , I might get lucky !

I take it you have already checked Havlin at http://www.havlinsales.com/ and
Numrich at http://www.gunpartscorp.com/ to see if either of them have the
ejector? I found some of the parts for my prewar Wards/Mossberg restoration
last year on-line and through some of the gun related sections on forums.

Thanks for the links ... Havlin doesn't carry it , and Numrich is out of
stock . I can get the spring , but it's kinda generic and can be sourced
here for less money , no shipping , and right away .

Thanks , but no luck there either . I do have another shotgun that's
identical also the cuetomer's with a good ejector to compare to . I have
found the part for several guages , just none for the 410 .

How did this repair go? Did you consider machining it from scratch and then
case hardening it as an option?

I ended up building it up with 4 strands of ER70S2 .025 MIG wire twisted
together using my TIG at 35 amps . Worked out very well . I was a bit leery
because I haven't had such great success with low-amp welding in the past .
I did consider making it from scratch , but this is an "heirloom" gun and I
felt using the original part if possible was better in this case .
