If your ejector is short or hits its stop too soon the pressure is released and the case falls free of the extractor. We have found that by removing the ejector pin and extending the notch for the retaining pin so that it can be pushed further out by the spring it will hold the case longer. . . long enough for it to clear the receiver side and be ejected.

Hope that makes sense....it worked for us on most of the problem guns.

Still a Remington though....

Scoop, H-O-W-A like an Italian saying "Howa you like the way your Remington ejects"?
