not rily. weld up and reshape. the weld provides it's own heat teating.sigpic Sic gorgiamus allos subjectatos nunc -
Dumb question
What is the problem with this one???
How is it attached to receiver box screwed on - welded / rosette / spot electric / spot welded on inside of receiver.
Specifack problem - ejection problem - timing problem - bent - worn - too soft - too short/long - cracked - broken off????

Can you even remove the ejector rail without destroying the receiver? They're spot welded on, and spot welds usually need to be drilled out using a spot weld cutter (looks like an endmill). You can try and chisel the rail off, but since the receiver is only 1mm thick, you run the risk of tearing a chunk of metal out with the rail.
I'm with motorhead. Weld and reshape."If a man hasn't found something worth dying for, he isn't fit to live." - Martin Luther King Jr.

Yeah the rail looks like they can snap off, but they aren't going anywhere. I tried on a damaged receiver I buuilt a while ago and no good. guess adding to the ejector is the best way."A good friend will come and bail you out of jail in the middle of the night....

Good and use a quality welding rodd with good purity rating - like 4130 steel material or better. Not coat hangers or cheap copper coated rodddds.
