Weak ejection

[strafer]

Howdy from Sacramento area.

Longtime lurker. Great information!
I have a 10fcp-k in .223 that has always had weak ejection.

After reading posts on this forum, I removed the ejector, and sure enough I had the old style, without the little tail extension to keep the spring from deforming.

I have since ordered a new ejector spring (Savage p/n 103611), a new ejector (Savage p/n 100129), and a .140" dia. detent ball for the extractor (on eBay for $2.77 including shipping).

I hope to report back with my findings after installation.

Thanks to all for the great info on this (apparently common) problem and its solutions.

Just replaced the ejector, ejector spring, and added a 9/64" dia. extractor detent ball.

Simple removal and re-install--just looked on YouTube for a bolt head disassembly/reassembly video. You actually don't have to do much taking apart or putting back together-just one pin in the bolt head for the ejector. It was helpful to watch the vids anyway though.

My 10FCP-K is now spitting brass as it should. Thanks to all on this forum for the tips. Very helpful.

Send me a self addressed envelope and I will send them out to 10 people.Pm me for my address.I hope I haven't broken a rule here but I am not selling but giving them away. Mine are 9/64th's which I think is the same. I think they come out to 141 ish.

Got my 300 blk kit in from SS today. New extractor claw and ball detent. Also new ejector spring and pin.

Went from dropping it almost every time to consistently ejecting about 2 ft away. Even slow moving the bolt, it ejected great.

I think its marketed as a 300BLK kit because that cartridge has widely known issues in a Savage chamber, and folks shooting that specific round might be interested in something to fix what ails them.

I ordered mine via email with Lisa, and while even that was a PITA that parts eventually showed up.

I bought 3 and have only stalled one so far, in my long action 223AI and it improved things IMMENSELY.

Good to know, I'll need one for my long action 223AI, thanks.
