Making an Ejector for a Dutch M1871/88 Beaumont

The original single shot Dutch Model 1871 Beaumont rifle was modified in 1888 with the addition of a 4 round Vitali magazine. The bolt head was also modified, moving the extractor to the right side and fitting a sliding ejector to the left side. The ejector kicks the spent casing out of the action in preparation for a new one to be loaded. In the milsurp collector's market today, the majority of Beaumont rifles have the ejectors missing. They were only held on to the bolt head by a small pin and when the bolt is removed from the action it can easily be lost. That was the case for my rifle. I was able to find blueprints for the ejector online and in this video I attempt to make it with the help of my new milling machine.

Actual gunsmithing in the wild. That is how it is done.

@shaska762 2 месяца назад

Man, what a step up! A milling machine is one hell of an asset for the shop, although it is not cheap, you're surely gonna save a lot of time and are now capable of much more.

@johnnyholland8765 11 дней назад

You can do a lot of work with that small mill. While not a full size knee mill you will be surprised what it will do. I had one for several years before I upgraded to a 1972 model Bridgeport. Clausing makes fine equipment. I used to run a Clausing lathe when I worked for the Boeing company. Just be aware of your cutter size as they won't tolerate large dia. cutters or face mills. You did a fine job on that ejector...

When you couldnt get bolts or bolt parts for all the Century gewehr 88s, id made an ejector in a pinch using a metal pen pocket clip....it works for about 20 to 100 rds before breaking , but at the time, it worked in a pinch.

I've intentionally clogged the side of a file with wax to create a semi safe edge. Not perfect but it helps. the wax cards out easily enough when your done.

@Johnny-jr2lq 4 дня назад

Absolutely beautiful!!!!! I’m getting ready to purchase a milling machine & lathe myself. Can you please do a video on what mill you decided to go with. As well as what other options you might have considered depending on more or less money.

@rakumprojects 4 дня назад

It's pretty simple, I wanted something as large as possible that's not a full sized Bridgeport, but also larger/heavier than the Chinese machines available today. I was searching marketplace for something that fit that criteria, like a Rockwell, Burke Millrite or Enco. Then I found the Clausing 8520 which fit the bill perfectly.

@rakumprojects 2 месяца назад

Not too bad, it probably would have taken an hour or two to make, if I weren't filming of course.

@thomasozminkowski2589 2 месяца назад

Sorry to tell you my friend but Jack's First has them. Relatively cheap too. I think i paid less than 40. I bought 2 ejectors and 2 extractors cuz they have those too. But you can be proud that you made it yourself! Thats huge.

@rakumprojects 2 месяца назад

I almost ordered one but then I found the blue prints and it didn't look too hard to make. A nice challenge for myself. If anyone here needs one and doesn't have the ability to make it, I'm sure it's a good choice.

Is there anything specific you'd like to see? I could do a casting video but I don't think I do anything different from others. I would like to make my own molds one day and if I ever do that I'll definitely film it.

@G41wal 2 месяца назад

@@rakumprojects For sure ! I’ve been looking for videos pertaining to casting projectiles for 8x50r Mannlicher . Reason being is all the casts I see out there for it look very incorrect and lack it being round nose and correct length. Also 11mm for the 1886 Mannlicher ! Love your videos man keep it up and thank you for responding !

@silverbullet7434 6 дней назад

Do you think it needs case hardening to make the edges hard for wear !! I would think it would help ??

@rakumprojects 6 дней назад

It would make the ejector more durable, however another commenter pointed out that it's better to leave the ejector soft so it wouldn't cause wear on the receiver, which I agree with.

Don't forget to heat treat it. Otherwise, it will wear quickly.

@rakumprojects 2 месяца назад

I was going to potentially remake this from harden-able steel, but another commenter pointed out that it's better to leave it soft. That way any wear will be on the ejector rather than the receiver or bolt.

@scaler1179 2 месяца назад

@@rakumprojects check the Rockwell hardness of the bolt. Aim for just slightly below that.

@vettepicking 2 месяца назад

Do you think case hardening the part would be a good addition?

@rakumprojects 2 месяца назад

Yes, case hardening mild steel or making it from tool steel would make it last a lot longer. I don't have a forge to case harden (yet), but I could always make it again from tool steel if this one doesn't hold up.

@vettepicking 2 месяца назад

@@rakumprojects you can just use "cherry red" hardening powder and a good torch to surface harden mild steel parts, no furnace needed....

@samellowery 2 месяца назад

I thought the same but because of the age of the rifle I would think it better not to better to mill new parts when and if the wear out than to cause damage to the rifle itself in my opinion

@vettepicking 2 месяца назад

@samellowery you can harden just the face that wears and leave everything else soft with cherry red powder

@samellowery 2 месяца назад

@@vettepicking yes you are correct but I wonder how often he shoots it with all the other BP firearms he has and the fact he has to handload for them all I imagine it probably doesn't get but a couple hundred rounds through it a season if even that.
