Re: AXIS Ejection Problems
When I had that problem I did it a little differently.
Removed the extractor and used a (!/8" I think) grinding ball on my Dremel.
Ground the divot in the extractor deeper and further to the outside. In essence recentering it.
Still working good with 8- 10 thousand rds thru it.
Whatever works works right?

Where can I get a bigger ball?

Fastenal: What you want is a .140 or 9/64th ball.

I had mine delivered to my local Fastenal store so there was no shipping cost involved.
Re: AXIS Ejection Problems
I'm in Australia so I couldn't help you there. The ball I used was 3.5mm..
Re: AXIS Ejection Problems
FWIW
After the factory ball has gone flying across the room I've used #4 steel shot as a replacement. FWIW
Re: AXIS Ejection Problems
Technique suggestion: When you are taking the extractor out put the bolt and your hands inside a large plastic bag (clear helps so you can see) so that the ball and spring don't get lost.
Re: AXIS Ejection Problems
And now the question am sure many of us have asked...If the fix to such a common problem (my Savage 11 wont eject either) is this simple, why in the world Savage continues using the same size ball?
Re: AXIS Ejection Problems
One year ago at the shot shot the reps were asked the same question - "we have 4 vendors making the bolt heads for us now. We are selling too many edges to worry about it now!" It seems a shame they have nobody smart enough to tighten up the computer tolerances. Easy fix along with not leaving them in the polishers so long.....( dip where the firing pin hole is)
Re: AXIS Ejection Problems
Also - changing out to the bigger detent ball did not help mine for very long. SSS has a larger button head ejector that worked wonders for me. Good luck...
Re: AXIS Ejection Problems
When will people learn to put something spring loaded into a 1 gal ziplock bag for repairs.
If the spring and ball go flying just tip up the bag and your parts will be in the bottom of the bag not 4 rooms away hiding under the dresser for the next spring cleaning if you are lucky.
