[QUOTE="Kevin Cram, post: 511816, member: 2215"] Check your ejector. It sounds like possibly your plunger may have gotten stuck back inside the hole. I see quite often that if the spring gets rusty and collects field debris the plunger can often quite stuck back inside the hole. Hold your bolt in a padded vise jaw and nock out the retainer pin with a 1/16' punch. Put your thumb over the bolt face when you pull the punch back out so the ejector doesn't go flying. If after you pull the punch out the ejector doesn't fling forward into your thumb then that's more than likely your problem. You'll need to squirt a little penetrating oil down inside the hole and tap the bolt nose on a piece of wood to get the plunger out. If the plunger comes out fine chances are the spring is rusted fast and will be a real pain in the *** to get out. I ground a little hook on the tip from a bent pin punch and use that to catch the spring and rip it out. Clean the hole out, replace with a new spring ( possible ejector too) and you should be back in order. [/QUOTE]
