Hammergun, Thank you for taking the time to help me out.
After much investigation and finally getting the right ejector to go back into bent, I have determined a few issues, all that are contributing to the ejector problems and your insights are very accurate.
The action is slightly off face which changes the position of the forearm. The stem that cocks the ejectors is in excellent condition, however, the screw that retains it is stripped and when you close the gun. the strain from the ejectors pushes it back towards the breech face. Even with the hinge-pin shimmed to tighten the action, the forearm is still a little loose so there is an issue with the loop being either bent or it was brazed on in the wrong spot (we are only talking about a few thou but it sure makes a huge impact on how the ejectors work!)
As you can see, I'm worrying about the cart before the horse - or perhaps in this case, the air conditioning for the cart before the horse. I will have the other issues remedied before I get into taking the forend apart. Who knows? Perhaps they will start working again.I can tell that the right ejector hammer has either been welded or replaced and the left one looks original.
Rest assured, I will be in touch in the future if they are still not working.
Do you know any gunsmiths that are familliar with Baker ejectors?
