1903 Mannlicher-S Gunsmith

Last year I got the name of a gunsmith that specializes in 1903s. He was in Oregon I believe, but can't find the contact info anymore.

Ring any bells? My ejector is damaged and my bolt face cracked.

Thanks. I sent him a note last night and he got back to me.

The issue is finding a good ejector. I think I will need a duplicate made. May have a bunch made and sell them.

They appear on ebay and gunbroker from time to time. Also, bolt heads. Folks usually parting out a 1903 Greek with a bum barrel.
From the ones I have seen/owned, the Greek military never highly valued or stressed gun cleaning.
