If you open the bolt on you GECO, you will see a slot at the bottom of the receiver about 1/8" wide. The ejector sat down in that slot. It is about 2"long, with a hook at one end and a half circle at the other end to pull the spent cartidges. The bolt held the ejector in place. With the bolt removed, and the gun tipped, the ejector will freely fall out of the receiver.

I own a Geco Carabiner.22 and unfortunately lost the manual ejector. I also made the mistake of firing a #12 crimp without teh ejector installed and burnt my forehead.I am looking for an ejector.

How about a dressing for the wound first? The only "GECO" our host lists is a flare gun...So ask on the employee side if any parts guns have been acquired.

Don, That "blowback" would likely be caused by a problem other than a missing ejector. Something allowed or caused the gases from the cartridge ignition to be blown back into the shooters face. The common causes are: The case ruptured or over expanded and did not seal the chamber. Check the chamber. Also examine the fired case for any unusual expansion/swelling or cracks. There is no logical reason for a firearm chambered for a .22 cal long rifle rimfire to do this..with a shotshell(the crimped round) or a standard load. Unless that "crimped" load was a metric blank or a shell for a nail gun. BUT...Basically. I would bet that your rifle is defective/damaged!

I have a 1919, with the ejector, but I need the knob on the back of the reciever. Does any have one of those? I could detail out the ejector on a drawing and you could get one machined if that's of value to anyone on here.

if you search the name of "G. genschow of Hamburg, Germany. This company used the name GECO,but a more likely scenerio is that you have a "training" rifle on handguns.. made on sub contarct for the German military by GECO. Several such firearms were made and issued to the "junior" Nazi's by Hitler's military machine. A "general" discription is: Model 98 Training Rifle a single shot para-military training rifle for issue to party memebers. Barrels are 26" in length and a tangent rear sight,calibrated in meters from 25 to 200 and it weighs approx 8.5 pounds..such rifles have some collector value and a pro appraisal would be wise www.bluebookinc.com..if you have one of these in excellent 100% original condition then it can be a $5000 firearm..of course it could be a post war civilan and be a $100 gun also!

I have a GECO 1919 originally chambered as 5.6x35 Vierling which is very close to the modern 22 Hornet. The previous owner had the gun reamed and chambered to take the 22 Hornet modern ammo. This gun is about 85% other than the ream job. It is also unusual in that it has a mauser set trigger - the two trigger version - and has an A.Jackenkroll 2 1/2 x 52 scope on high mounts. The scope is about 85% as well. On the stock is a circle with what looks like a 3 leaf clover or perhaps Hemlock leaf group, but the bottom part of the fleur is too warn to read. Does anyone know what that leaf pattern is and what it stands for? Thanks
