    Lost Ejector Spring


    Hey guys,

    I lost my damn ejector spring after it bounced the ejector off my forehead and went flying in a different direction. I found the ejector, but I'm annoyed by the thought of paying $15 for a spring that I'm invariably going to find as soon as the replacement ships.

    Is there anything else that works in place of it? The ejector looks a lot like an AR15's, and the diameter is just about right.

    Thanks!

    I keep spares of the bolt head parts. The ejector, ejector spring and that pesky ball bearing can be hard to find :) I have adopted the idea of working on them inside a gallon plastic baggie.

    A sign of experience.
    I am sorry, I may have mispoke.

    If a fella had the spring and ball bearing sizes or another Savage with the same bolt head, he could probably go to a good hardware store and match them up. No where near $15.
    $15.00 will probably buy a sack full of em. Same for trigger springs etc...

    And they probably comes in packs of 10...then I'd never lose one ever again. When I die that 10 pack would still be there. :)
