Re: Ejector or extractor

I think the Merkels in the Dangerous Game calibres/cartridges only come with ejectors. Makes sense, I guess, as it would save time and eliminate 1 other point for human error (ie manual removal of extracted cases).

Having said that, my Merkel 500Nitro started to fail ejecting from the LH barrel. When I removed the fore-end, the left hand ejector striker (is this what it is called?) would be uncocked. I thought something must've broken but tried dripping some oil into the mechanism. I don't have any fine tipped hollow ground blade screwdrivers so couldn't disassemble anything, but I would hesitate to do so anyway without instructions or diagrams of what's inside (there's probably small expensive parts that are keen to fly around the room if given the chance ). Anyway the oil worked - maybe a catch wasn't able to move all the way it was supposed to.
