The ejector hole is undrilled? I didn't notice
Just use the file to fit the ejector leg. It doesn't take much

ejector pin hole is drilled. i think he just wants to install the ejector and drill the leg.
alright first experience fitting a thumb safety and somehow it's gotten stuck...
doing some research looks like Wilson (the one I happened to buy...) thumb safeties have done this to others:

unlike them though, I cannot get this thing to budge, hammer cocked or not. Any ideas or is it time to just destroy this safety to save the frame??
drilling is tricky. the ejector is hard. the aluminum framer is softer, and the drill bit wants to walk around the steel leg.
i filed the leg a little after marking it, in order to get it started, installed the ejector, and then drilled with whatever bit from my numbered $20 harbor freight set fit in the hole.
have you tried taking the rest of the gun apart? Just tapping out the sear and hammer pin (if you can) might loosen things up enough for you to get it out. I'd also consider taking out the mainspring housing, and the sear spring to see if those take any tension off of the parts.
Cool project! You have peeked my interest... Why did you choose Stealth over Tactical Machining or Rudius?
You can ship it to a gunsmith and he can ship it back to you when finished. No serial number or being a home build is not an issue. I have done this numerous times from both ends.
