what in a model 70 classic would keep the shells from getting kicked out when the bolt is opened. They reamin in the bolt face as designed and extract just fine. but they also remain attached to the bolt face when it's completely pulled back to the limit.
I see there is a metal piece that slides into the bottom of the bolt which should strike the bottom edge of the case and lift it up and toss it out. That piece is there and I can see it slide through the bottom of the bolt just perfectly.
The action otherwise works as designed and is fine. It just does not kick out the case at full bolt throw. Thanks for ideas.
Please forgive the sarcasm ...but with all of the endless talk on AR of the supposed superiority of CRF vs PF, your’s makes about the fourth or fifth post just this month concerning a problem with either feeding, extraction or ejection with Mauser and Winchester CRF’s.
Either your ejector is not “really†popping up with a empty case in the bolt, or your extractor has way too much tension and grip on the case rim.

Ok the issue is not the gun but the brutal habitat I have been in. There was some silt and pine needles in the back of the action abover the magazine and somewhat wedged into the ejecting finger. Once I had this removed and used compressed air to blow it out the thing works like a champ again. I suppose if you pack a rifle around long enough wierd stuff will happen.
One of the more obvious advantages of fixed ejectors is that they either work, or they don’t...there is no in between like you can have with a plunger style if the spring gets gunked up or weak. If the ejector pops up it is going to hit the case rim no matter what and the force of the pull back is all that determines how hard/far the ejected case will go.
