It'll be interesting to see how they got by the ejection issue. Price?

I had to work on mine a bit to iron it out too. there are a couple tweaks to the ejector, lengthening the slot on the ejector, filing the end of the ejector square, to move the contact point closer to the center of the case. another mod used in extreme cases is to make a mushroom ejector which again moves the contact point closer to the center.
So maybe they used one of these.

does the .223 have the same issues? Or have enough of the Savage shooters figured it out and have a recipe to fix it? I was thinking of a Savage since I have a brand new B&C stock I got in a multi-trade sitting in the closet.

I might just get rid of the stock and try to get a new Mossberg MVP.

Sucks since alot of people were tooled up to make savage barrels in blk/whisper. But if you want a flawless out of the box custom rifle I suggest a rem with a ptg bolt or if you want to save money get a howa 1500! I hope the savages do well, I wouldnt mind one with a dm and a mcm stock

I called& visited with Fred@ SSS a while back& he did some measuring and while I don't remember the exact angle, the fireball length cases take a very extreme angle exiting the chamber. much steeper than the 223.

Fred was the one who told me about the mushroom ejector, he had a 30, or 6mm BR that was especially problematic about ejecting, so he adapted the idea from another rifle. If the tweaks he told me about didn't work, I would have gladly sent my bolt head to him for retrofitting. for a reasonable price too. iirc~$50.

I'm getting ready to do a .45ACP on a short action but my plan is to get a lefty bolt head and cut a micro port on the left side just at the end of the barrel. I like simple solutions.

what about removing the ejector plunger altogether on that one?

I have wondered about taking an action with the blade ejector& bushing the bolt face to fit your case head.

I like that idea. Wonder what it would run me to have that machined? I don't have access to a machine shop anymore.
