If you need me to me to measure the pins on my Greener, let me know. At least it will give you a ballpark measurement. Your pins are shaped like the ones in my gun. I believe everything is original.

If you wouldn't mind measuring yours I would really appreciate it. I have nothing to go by as I've never had one of these in my hands before. Also, if you could measure your spring length then I would know which one has been altered. I just thought my pins looked like some old nails but if that's how yours are then I'm glad mine are still the original.

Doubtful, they look too uniform, no fracturing anywhere I could detect--usually one through pin, the axle for the ejector tumblers to move in their arc. Easy to spot this on a L.C. Smith ejector gun, you can see the head of that axle on the forearm, both sides. Sounds to me like your new "project gun" was perhaps "bodgered" in the past, and put up in a uncared for manner. You are to be congratulated for wanting to restore this "Old dusty jewel"-- RWTF

Looking closely, I believe my left ejector pin is a replacement. It functions fine.
Diameter at base
Right .117 inch
Left .122
Diameter at tip
Right .094 inch
Left .114
Length of both pins .968 inch
Spring length both 1.8 inches
If you'd like photos, pm me your email.
Greener Monarch from 1898.

I also have a set apart on my bench right now. They are from a Greener Monarch made in 1899.
Left barrel OAL of the bottom from tip to tail is 44mm
The spring is 42mm
Right barrel OAL of the bottom from tip to tail is 43.5mm
The spring is 44mm
The left tail has been broken and welded before. It broke on me at the larger diameter rod ahead of the tail and I just had this welded back together. Need to file and fit it now...

Looks like my pins are pretty close then. My one spring is 46.7 mm or 1.84" and my other is 38.2 mm or 1.5". Kind of makes me think the one spring maybe broke.
Thanks guys.

Thank you Hammergun, as it was you who helped me out by passing on your knowledge regarding the Baker ejectors a few years ago. This led me down the path of disassembling, diagnosing and fixing Baker ejectors. No better way to truly understand a mechanism.
