wapiti22 those ejector rods can be restraightened pretty easily enough, take you time,,,,,,,,got any pictures you can send or show us.............or send me an e-mail or the rod and I'll straighten it for you..........
as noted yes, the newer ones can and will work....they got close to the edge when they were used in the 30 carbines or even the 357 mag,,,,,,,,,a few different versions over the years,flat, wedge ( angled) and of course 'round'.......................
and if you meant the cylinder, base pin, that too can be straightened, refit.......... :wink:
