[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Enfield Pattern 1914 question

Posted: 9/14/2012 7:38:12 PM EDT

Finally got to shoot my P14 today. For the record it shoots like a dream. I did have one problem. After firing, the brass could be extracted from the chamber but would not eject. Is this an extractor issue? If so, what is the fix. Other than that I can't wait to get to a real rifle range and stretch it out to a few hundred yards.

The ejector on the P14 and Mod 1917 are the most often part on both guns to brake . So much so that a deferent part was made to replace them I think Numrich has both for sale.

The original ejectors break very easily. Replace it with THIS.

Not the extractors themselves that break but the flat spring that powers it. Replacing with a coil spring (available from several sources) solves the problem

Oops ejector not extractor is what I meant

Flat spring is a weak-point. Though I have 2 P-14s and a M1917 that have had alot of use and they haven't busted but there is much more of a potential for it than the mauser coil style

Interesting WWII trivia about the M1917's. When the Philippines fell in to the hands of the Japanese many of the guerrilla fighters were equipped with the M1917 rifle. The had to scrounge metal to hand make 1917 ejectors. This was a full time job for several of the fighters.

From what I understand, its not the ejector itself that breaks, its the flat leaf spring on the ejector assembly that tends to break.
