Win M70 ejector adjustment (CRF-models)

[Ontario Hunter]

I am curious how OP's rifle ejects loaded cartridges. Are bullets also smacking into the receiver?

In my opinion, I would leave it alone as you’ve already noted, The force of the ejection is related to how fast and hard you cycle the bolt.

If you’re wanting to protect your brass for reloading, then don’t cycle the bolt as hard… but in a Hunting situation, I would rather have it clear my brass.

I have a G3 / HK91 semi auto build from a parts kit. Trust me, your brass aren't dented much. My rifle can mostly close a case mouth once in a while, then throws brass 30 feet. Just push a drift punch into case mouth so taper sort of rounds case mouth back open and then run thru sizer die. Have 6+ reloads on some brass with no issues, even without annealing neck. I wouldn't go filing on your rifle because of a little brass ding if it otherwise runs reliably.

Haha. Indeed!
HK 91's and Hakims are superb tools for returning cartridge brass to its original condition before the foundry got to work on it.

Thanks, but the question is regarding the ejector, not the extractor.

Yes I stand corrected.

Within this thread, the combined function of the extractor with the ejector is addressed.
I would not mess with it.
Cases will be dented, but if they eject every single time, then you have reliability.

Hello, Somnas,

Do NOT modify the Ejector. If anything, you may have too much Extractor Tension, but without having your rifle in front of me, that's impossible to say for sure. However, there is a such a thing as too much extractor tension.

Cajunchefray, we just recently (within the last 2 months) bought 2 new Super Grades and both guns, a 7mm-08 and a .30-06 came from the Factory with ZERO Extractor Tension. I'm an Armorer so adjusting them was easy enough, but only time will tell if the spring-steel their using is good, or not.

Good Luck to y'all,

@BobReed, thanks for that information on current production M70s extractors. I did not know that.
My 2008 M70 in 7mm Mauser has good extractor tension, and works.
A good testament that ALL new production rifles need to be carefully evaluated and adjusted as needed.
