I've got a grade V browning 42. While at a trapshoot 2 weeks ago I had a fired hull get jammed in the chamber. Upon removing the hull I did not notice the ejector was broken and fell out. After looking all over the net I could not come up with any instructions of the assembly of how or what components it takes to replace the ejector. I did find a new ejector. But before I dig into the action I want to no what I'm getting into. I've reblued many of them in my time but never had to remove any components from the bolt. When I find scymetics I cannot read them because I don't have a computer. Just my phone. Which does not make them legible. Any help wond be greatly appreciated. Thanks Hammer Bill.

M42 is much a clone of Win M12, the bolt of which comes apart easily by knocking out the pins and retrieving the springs after they fly out every which way.

Seriously though, YouTube has many good M12 videos, it’s not difficult, there will be a lot of sticky gunk inside the bolt. The Midway video is a pretty good start. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_uuMJ9grq-0&pp=ygUkd2luY2hlc3RlciBtb2RlbCAxMiBib2x0IGRpc2Fzc2VtYmx5

Here’s a Model 42 video:

As luck would have it I found 2 left side and 1 right side extractors close by. Plus 1 ejector. Had to do a little hand fitting on the extractor but everything worked right in fine. Just plain lucky on the extractors. . Bill
