I’m waiting on a bergara premier to get here. I haven’t seen anything real useful on removing the ejector(s). Anyone got a tutorial or any links?
 
Removal of the ejector is simple. You drive the retaining pin out - a roll pin, with a suitable punch, and it'll come free. Reinstalling is a bit more of a 3 handed affair, if you don't have a fixture to depress the ejector plungers.
 
Interested in why you ask because my Bergara premier had about 20 misfires the first time I shot it due to improperly calibrated action. Firing pin would depress the primer, but not enough for combustion -- sent it back to Lawrenceville for a month to be worked on ... finally got it back and the first time pulling the trigger back on the range it did the exact same thing. Dimpled primer, no shot. Something up with the Bergara premier firing pins?

I don’t have it in hand yet. I just want to be able to find the lands and measure shoulder bump without any resistance. Haven’t heard of that issue but sure hope it’s a one-off. Hope you get yours squared away.
It's probably just knock out the roll pin holding it in, and catch the ejector/spring before it goes flying across the room.
Roger. I’ll check to see if my Remington tool works.
