Well just to close the door on this one... I did get 2x coil spring replacement ejectors from Wisner's. There was a $10 min order, and they wouldn't charge me $10 for the $8 part. (SHRUG) But as it turned out the first one I installed still didn't eject the shell. I reinstalled and played with a bit and was a bit perplexed. Taking it down to only the ejector in a bare received I noticed the ejector dragged in the slot. It appeared flat, the receiver slot looked more suspect, but before I started adjusting, I tried the second part and it worked perfectly. I wasn't going to remove someone elses scope and mounts to check for further marks and just end with the summary that it was a VERY nice rifle to be "Grandpa stocked" and a simple little project to have solved for a friend.
