300wtf ejection problems

[sha-ul]

The ejector plunger is pretty soft stuff, probably made from 1003 mild, It only took a few strokes from a small file for mine. It wasn't done super precise, more of a trial and error, file a couple strokes& give it a test run with and empty case in the chamber.
the part is such that you could make a new plunger out of some round stock pretty quick, it you did that, you could start out with a slightly longer nose for more travel.

I was curious as to the original metal. I had considered worst case trying to mock up a new one. I believe that the diameter has been as high as 0.1005" in some instances. that probably helps bring the edge closer to the center of the case, especially if its not rounded.

I got one of my barrels in, so I'm personally vested in making this work now!

I have made several of them mostly from a nail and some rod I had here. They all worked pretty well, I haven't done it for awhile since almost all of mine are single shot bench guns so I just took the ejector out of them.

Thanks,

Thats what I was imagining was being described, but a picture is worth a thousand words!

I did revise the drawings though, the case end is more radiused, while the spring and retainer end is beveled, in the close up photos you can see a distinct difference in the two tips.

Basically file down the radius more "flat" like so?

Thank you for the images

What barrel did you go with? How has this project ended up?
