I fixed my crappy savage!

[Steel head]

Ejection has been super lame lately.
Added a bigger ball under the extractor and that helped but it was just a better level of lame.

Did a few searches here and someone long long ago used an AR spring cut down as a replacement.
Made one and cleaned up the ejector and hole.
Put it all together and it actually works ok now.
A satisfactory level of lame.

Search function sucks but using google to do it got me the info I wanted.

If you want information searching here almost certainly with
Lessons learned here?

1-Savage is a far cry from my nucleus at extraction and ejection but a few barrels worth of abuse and grime certainly warranted some attention.

2-take the time for the info you seek and almost certainly you’ll find it.

!!!!!!UPDATE !!!!!!!!

the first fix helped for a while but quickly faded.

I then bought the upgraded extractor and ejector from site support Tactical Works.

That kit did what I wanted and it’s lasting.

I clicked thinking you would have put it on GB. That’s how I fixed my Savage.

will never own one again. Ejection was failing at 200 rounds on mine.

Mine went well past 5000 rounds.
it will eventually get replaced though.

The best fix I could have ever done was taking that $25 loss on resale at the horrible revelation of how truly crappy mine was!

The experience did have the affect of snapping me into selling other stuff and getting what I considered at the time my ultimate tactical rifle, so in a way I should be thankful, lol.

A bit of an after report.

I’ve been shooting my precision poors rifle a lot lately and after the upgraded parts Buttercup has been humming along like a champ.

If your savage has sucky extraction or ejection that kit is a welcome addition.

So basically just use an AR ejector spring cut down and clean up the hole? That it?...

Mine is weak but has yet to fail to eject ... might as well plan my upgrades now lol
