1917 hand ejector assembly drawings?

[canuck75]

Hi,

I'd earlier posted about a gun an aquaintance had found looking for an ID on it. Turns out it was a 1917 hand ejector model 2. The owner had removed a bunch of parts from the inside in order to in her mind "make it safe". I'm trying to see if all the parts are accounted for and if I gun get the gun to function. I've come across parts lists for the gun, but not an assembly drawing or instruction. Is there any chance someone here has one? Many thanks in advance.

Try looking on Youtube. There are a lot of S&W assembly and disassembly videos there that walk you through many of these projects. Not sure if there is one for a 1917, but I would think that the internals go back the same for most HE's.

Thanks so much Bill, will post more pics later, but here is a link to my original posting:
what do I have here, s&w hand ejector model 2?

There are parts drawings on Brownell's, and Numrich websites. Assembly is pretty standard for most all S&W Hand Ejectors.

And just to be precise, your gun is a .455 Hand Ejector, second model, that probably shipped in 1916. The Model 1917 is a similar but different model that chambers a different cartridge. This was touched on in the other thread.
