...different approaches tomorrow. Back from the range...no change in the ejection. All fired cases were extracted from the chamber! Here's what I tried, filed the back part of the ejector's notch to lessen the pressure on the case; cut one and a half coils off the spring; faster, more forceful bolt...

Rem 725, thanks for the explaination of end play(I like foreplay better, but you didn't ask that :D) I don't know what to tell you about the end play, how can I measure that? What is the amount allowable? I put the case rim into the bolt face...push down and it seems there is some space between the ...

Does a case have much end play when held square on the bolt face under the extractor and against the ejector? I don't understand what you mean by "end play". I have put a case there but have to hold it...explain end play, please. Ghost the case is pulled from the chamber, but not thrown f...

ghost, thanks for your reply and info.

Don't need the name quite yet as I have a couple of things to try. Spring lightening and modification of the ejector notch.

Question...can you tell if the extractor is worn out by looking at it and what do you look for? Thanks, Preston

shot1too, thanks, I did check the extractor. It is not chipped or broken, however, it did look to my untrained eye :roll: to be worn. I have a newer 700 in 223 and the extractor on it has a sharper more pronounced "lip" than the 721. Maybe a new extractor is called for? Will the extractor ...

UPDATE

Put in the new ejector spring and still have problems...it will eject loaded rounds without problems and this was true before the new spring. Every so often it ejects a case just like it knows what it's doing. So I inspect this case and one that did not eject and find that the mouth of the case on t...

Thanks, Rem725...any tips on getting the pin out would be appreciated. I'm assuming a drift of the proper size. Is this under pressure from the spring while being held by the pin? Does it come flying out? Is the going back in difficult also...should I order several springs and pins? Thanks, Preston

721 ejection weak

The ejection on my used 721 is weak. The bolt releases the fired case but does not throw it from the receiver. Help me troubleshoot this and what do I need to fix this? Can I do it myself? Thanks in advance for your help and sharing your knowledge. Preston

Is there anyone that could post, or tell me where one would be, a picture of the rear sight on a 721 that goes in the dovetail? I'd like to have an idea of what to look for when I go to the gunshows. Jay Huber, I have tried many of the resoures listed in the Service/Parts section here and on Remingt...

721 REAR SIGHT QUESTION

Hello, I just bought a 721, 30-06. It needs, among other things, a rear sight. All I have there is the dovetail. Will the rear sights from other models works? Do they all have the dovetail? If so which models interchange? I will also need a stock in the near future so any suggestions on that will be...
