Hey Guys, Just curious, on a Remington Model 700 BDL, if you pull the bolt back very slowly after a shot, should it still throw the empty case out of the action? Mine I am pretty sure will kinda put it back in the action area. However if done at medium speed or fast, it throws them way far away? Is this the norm? Thanks, Nathan | ||

I don't believe this is normal. The button-styled plunger on the bolt face is what performs the ejection. It has the same amount of tension on it whether you pull the bolt back slowly, quickly, or not at all. [ 11-25-2003, 05:43: Message edited by: recoiljunky ] | |||

A Remington uses a spring loaded plunger to eject the spent cartridge and should fling the case the same regardless of how quickly the bolt is worked. Chuck Sorry recoiljunky, we must have been posting at the same time. [ 11-25-2003, 05:40: Message edited by: Chuck Nelson ] | |||

At the risk of adding to the redundancy, I will say this. Junky and Nelson are right. The Rem plunger style ejector should throw the empty case clear of the action regardless of the speed with which the action is worked. The case mouth is held against the front of the loading port until it clears it, then is flung free if the action by means of the spring loaded ejector. | |||

Ok thanks-I will check again tomorrow and see if mine does that. I hope not though! What can I do if it does? Should I get it fixed? Like I said though it is only when worked very slowly. Thanks a bunch, Nathan. | |||

Ok I checked and it does extract fully at any speed, I just must have remembered wrong! | |||

quote:If the problem comes back, it is probably a few strands of brass or some dirt in the hole in which the ejector plunger rides. This makes the plunger inoperative at times... Push the plunger in with something, then blast the hole with some carb cleaner to get rid of any dirt, brass shards or gummed oil. Apply a LITTLE oil and you should be back in business. jpb | |||

Nathan you probably wern't wrong it probably did malfunction and now it is not. This is a very normal Rem thing. I am not allowed to say problem. But it is a Rem problem. The reason is multi- fold. The bolt face is cut to a maximum size of the cartiridge plus some play for feeding. Now combined some engineered in slop with production slop to the excessive variation of cartiridge case head size and you have the real rooted -TRUTH- of why a push feed guns is for varmits or play toys -NOT- serious usage.
