[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Savage 167 20 ga ejection problem

Posted: 11/7/2015 8:08:14 PM EDT

I'm looking at an old Savage 167 20 ga pump action that has an ejection problem. Sometimes when you pump the handle back, it does not eject. The ejector is a fixed piece and does protrude beyond the bolt face when the bolt is all the way back.

Thoughts?

Also getting failure to fire. I had cleaned the firing pin, firing pin spring and the firing pin channel/tunnel in the breechblock too. When pushed from the rear, the firing pin does protrude sufficiently to strike the primer.

Polished the chamber to make extraction easier. Put a plug behind the ejector spring to increase the tension of the spring.
