The original single shot Dutch Model 1871 Beaumont rifle was modified in 1888 with the addition of a 4 round Vitali magazine. The bolt head was also modified, moving the extractor to the right side and fitting a sliding ejector to the left side. The ejector kicks the spent casing out of the action in preparation for a new one to be loaded. In the milsurp collector's market today, the majority of Beaumont rifles have the ejectors missing. They were only held on to the bolt head by a small pin and when the bolt is removed from the action it can easily be lost. That was the case for my rifle. I was able to find blueprints for the ejector online and in this video I attempt to make it with the help of my new milling machine.
