When I was a kid, I was out shooting my dads 39a when the ejector spring broke. I went runnin back into the house and he took the gun, halfway inserted the spring, cleaned it and put it back into the closet. Seemed a little upset at me for something I had no power over.
He passed away a few years ago and I inhereted his guns. Took apart the 39a for a good cleaning and found that the spring, still in place, was broken, and had not been replaced. I smiled, realizing that I was probably the last to shoot that gun, all those years ago. So I made it right by purchasing a new spring and installing it....sorry for breaking it dad, but its finally fixed!
Hopefully, you will find the same, a small but important piece. Please let us know what broke so we can look for it in our own guns!
