Having a issue with my bergara b-14 action, when I go to cycle the bolt the spent case hits the back side of the action and bounces back in instead of being launched out of the way. Wondering if anyone else has had this issue and what I need to do to fix it. Thanks.

That’s the same thing I thought it was doing, I even removed my extractor and filed the top corner down some to try and change the ejection angle, wasn’t until I took a slow motion video to actually see where it was hitting. Those pics are screenshots from the video.
 
I’m gonna call it a problem because about 4 out of 5 times the shell falls back and jams when trying to close the bolt. Would a heavier ejector spring possibly help? It seems that if I cycle slow it will eject the shell, but running the bolt quickly or even at a “normal” speed it does this like it doesn’t have time to eject. Hopefully that makes sense, that’s the best way I can think to explain it.
 
That will probably do it, it did fine for the first 200 or so rounds and it’s been getting worse over time, around 700 through it now and it’s almost everytime it fails
 
I had a similar issue my ejector spring at around 2200 rounds, it just lost tension. I called bergara they sent me the extractor and ejector parts issue resolved.
 
Just wanted to update this post in case anyone else’s runs into this issue, problem is fixed now and it turns out the ejector was installed backwards from the factory. Thanks everyone for all the help and thanks bayoubigcat for the fix.

I know this is a massive necro, but do you happen to have a pic of what the ejector looks like when correctly installed?
