First let me say hi as i am new here and thanks for all the info on this site.
Short story 2 rifles same batch no blue springs either one, mine works great no problems, but the other one has ejection problems and does it all the time no matter what ammo you feed it, so i took both apart to see what the difference was, found the extractor pin on the problem rifle to be to tall where it graps the rim (ammo rim diameter can be 6.82mm-6.92mm fedral bulk blue box ammo, even winchester super X 26gr tin hallow points have about the same OD on the rim just alot less of the smaller ODs rims ) the 6.92mm has no issuses ejecting, but the smaller rim does as the extractor pin cant hold on to the smaller rim. it is not the extractor pin that is at fualt, its the bolt as they cut it to high where the extactor pin sits, as when i took mine apart both extractor pins were the same size shape. after i messed around with the extractor pin it was ejecting 100% better, ( bullets ejecting across the room instead of you turning the rifle sideways and shaking it to get them out, was just pulling back on the charge handle to eject them) so the true test will be to take it out and fire it, when i do i will let you all know how it goes. if this does fix the issue i will let you know what i did to the extractor pin.
if you want to see what i am talking about pull the bolt out in slide a round into the extrator pin and see if it graps it tight snug or falls out.
pic 1 is Fedaral bulk rim OD 6.94mm bullet is nice and straight.
pic 2 is same bulk ammo OD 6.84mm if you look, bullet is nosed down a little as it is not tight in the extractor pin but ejects fine still. the problem rifle would not even hold the rim and bullet would fall out, now after messing with it it holds great.
