LDHunterNeed Ejector for Older Marlin 1894
I have a friend that's pretty hip on Marlins and he's working on an older Marlin 1894 I bought and says it needs a new ejector.
This is a Microgroove model chambered for 44mag.
He has warned me that the part that he ordered from Brownells (or maybe Marlin???) was the INCORRECT one and that incorrect one was Marlin Part Number 501168
He says that's for the newer models and has a stud on it.
He says the one he needs is all spring steel with no stud and is for the older models.
The serial number of my Marlin that he's working on is 251516**
Can someone help me/him find the part he needs to get this old Marlin shooting again? I'm a Brownells KLUTZ so if you tell me Brownells or another gun parts site I'd GREATLY appreciate a direct link.
Thanks for any and all help,

LDHunterI just called him and he's at a SASS State Championship match and will look at it later on his laptop so see if it's the right one.
Thanks,

LDHunterYou'll get no argument from me. I'm "Lever Stupid".
He had this rifle just laying around and it was old but unfired and he sold it to me. Then he decided to "slick it up" for me and discovered the ejector problem.
He's been working on and fixing my guns for SEVERAL years now and I've never doubted his work.
Will Numrich probably let my FFL dealer buy at discount with proof of licensure and tax number?
Thanks for your help,

J WisnerThat Marlin 1894 44 MAG was made in 1975 and uses the all spring formed ejector, #314198
We are the only ones who make that ejector.
