Other than that the gun is beautiful (aside from original owner doing a good job at engraving his name on the trigger guard)Anyone near NC that can recommend a competent gunsmith to fix them? Are ejectors rare? Thanks in advance and also thanks for having me in the group! Porkskins

The fact that it won't eject the spent hulls does not mean the springs are weak, necessarily. May God bless America and those who defend her.

I would suggest trying a box of Win AA or Rem Premier or STS These have brass heads and not coated steel heads. Might make a large difference Mike p.s. where in NC, my daughter lives in Boone Last edited by skeettx; 12/26/23 11:00 PM. USAF RET 1971-95

I absolutely loved living up there, I was in my early 20’s and staying on party street of the college, good times!! Porkskins
