Here is a picture of the ejector, but you can't really tell much by looking at it without the bolt in and the extractors showing...

Now, Looking under the bolt, there appears to be a notch cut in the side. This would seem to be the way to remove the extractor "band". The thing is broken anyway, so it's not like it matters what happens to this one, but I was just wondering if it was as simple as just popping the thing out.

Really, the ejector would have to be done first. If it chipped the extractor, then putting a new one in will be pointless. The ejector on the other hand, seems like it would be more involved...

So I'm wondering, does anyone have experience with these kinds of replacements?

I'm probably going to just give them to a gunsmith to fix, but of course, if I could just save myself the money, that would be cool too.

Thanks to anyone who can help.
