Re: Ejection question
Explain "the rear side of the receiver" Rear of the loading port is OK as the bolt retracts further to the rear than the port.

Re: Ejection question
most problems with ejection i have seen are the extractor letting go too early, causing it to never clear the front of the ejection port before letting go.
i would say if it works all the time (clears the case even when the bolt is run hard and rough, and slow and sweet)leave it alone, but if it is still in the bolt face after the case neck clears the front of the ejection port -- i'm wondering WTF.
very weak ejector spring my best guess.......

Re: Ejection question
it is rear of the loading port. I am sure it is ok, just noticing marks left from brass hitting the receiver. thanks for the help

Yes this is normal. The brass will contact on the right side (or left side depending on left or right action) of the action just behind the ejection port.
