G3 Ejector Lever

G3 Ejector Lever

If your G3 is extracting but cases are not leaving the action cleanly, the ejector lever is one of the first parts to check. This is the German Army issue lever for the G3 rifle in 7.62x51mm NATO. It sits inside the trigger housing and throws each spent case clear after the shot. Owners and builders of G3, HK91 and PTR91 rifles keep one as a replacement or a spare.

Features

• German Army Issue — A Bundeswehr part made by Heckler & Koch in Germany for the G3 service rifle, not an aftermarket copy.
• Lever-Type Ejector — The ejector rides in the trigger assembly instead of on the outside of the receiver, and the recoiling bolt trips it during the firing cycle.
• Pivot Pin Mounting — A single hole near the center takes the pin that holds the lever in the trigger housing and lets it swing.
• Spring-Powered Action — Spring tension drives the lever, which works with the claw extractor in the bolt to grip the case and then kick it out of the rifle.
• 7.62x51mm NATO Platform — Built for G3-pattern rifles chambered in 7.62x51mm, the full-power NATO rifle cartridge.
• G3, HK91 And PTR91 Fit — Fits the G3 and the civilian HK91 and PTR91 rifles that share its trigger housing design.
• Flat Dark-Finish Profile — A slim, angled lever with a hooked tip at one end and a broad tail at the other, as shown in the photo.

Bundeswehr Service Part

The G3 was the standard West German infantry rifle, and Heckler & Koch made this lever to the same specification the Bundeswehr used for its own rifles. Because the ejector lives in the trigger pack, you can replace it with the housing out of the rifle, with no work on the bolt or receiver. Using an issue part keeps the ejection timing as the factory designed it, which matters to shooters running a G3 hard and to collectors keeping a rifle correct.
