I am mentioning ejector because there are 2 of the 3 parts of the ejector system in the photo . I am asking where the retainer pin is . The third part, which is not pictured .
Correct, I am asking about the Pin, that little thing that keeps those two pieces from flying out.
That is why I am wondering where that pin is, it usually takes a hammer and punch to move it . I am wondering if it may still be there protruding enough to keep the bolt from camming over or maybe its loose sitting in there .
The OP's photo shows an extractor plunger and extractor plunger spring. This has nothing to do with the ejector, ejector spring or pin.
Correct, sorry for the confusion . I did not take a good look at pic in OP , I thought I saw the plunger and spring . No wonder I could not grasp this problem . I will shut up now, my apologies folks .
If you think that's scary, wait 'til you learn the live cartridge removal procedures.Bore scope with a loaded round stuck in the chamber
Well if its a stuck case that's the reason it went click and didn't fire.
Sort of wonder how the OP doesn't know which it is???
Please take the rifle to a competent Gunsmith so you don't do anymore damage to the rifle or hurt yourself.
Not going to recommend this but I was in a pinch.
I extracted the round. Looks like the primer got burnt, but otherwise the bullet did not fire.
And where is the extractor itself? Was it in there under the case rim? If I understood correctly, the spring and plunger for the extractor flew out but where is the claw itself?
Extractor is missing. Don't know if it flew out with the spring and pin, or if it just fell, and I couldn't find it in the gravel. Something hit my cheek (on the cheek weld) when I pulled the trigger.
Most likely it was a piece of the blown primer of primer compound coming out of the bleed holes, as when the bolt is closed the extractor parts are fully encompassed by the receiver.
These were handloads, but they were not part of my test batch. I'd just completed testing, and I was firing off some "extras" from previous loads that I may not have measured correctly and had set aside. I didn't think they were hot, but I was wrong. Big mistake.
It's hard to tell from pics but it looks fine. I can't see any pitting from blown primers
rough in the sense that it's been used a bit. No kidding you can't sell it as new... it's used...???You are correct that there isn't any deep pitting but it is rough now. Couldn't sale it "as new" any longer.
Sounds as plausible as anything. Was a reloaded round (Federal primer).
