[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 446917, member: 25383"] The ejector pin and spring are in the bolt face, and are probably just gumed up. I've had to polish the pin on two or three rifles of mine in the past. Does the Edge use the same bolt as the other Savages? Also you might try putting a couple drops of Kroil around the bore and pin of the ejector. if the pin is like the ones on a 112 or 12, then just remove the pin and polish it with 400 grit sand paper in a drill press. The bore sometimes will get a slight burr in it, so you might check for that as well. My guess is that the bore is all gummed up from the oil turning to grease, so a good cleaning might be all you need. In extreme cold weather I think I'd lube the pin with a little powdered graphite. gary [/QUOTE]
