Barnard ejector

[SuperV]

I'm wondering if its possible to put a ejector into a bolt that hasn't got one.

Ok thanks Keith.

You haven't said why you desire an ejector but if it is any consolation my last Barnard action was supplied with an ejector - I removed it pretty soon after it went into service and went back to the old remove case with fingers. The Barnard ejector is a little under nourished IMOP and using an ejector saves little time if any whilst shooting plus I don't like my brass falling about on the ground even if it is landing on a clean ground sheet.

I ordered a Barnard without ejector, but got one regardless and promptly removed it. Some shooters are quite skilled at catching ejected cases, which may be quicker than manually extracting.

I love Barnard's ejector, it does not throw the case into the next country & I catch them about a foot to the right of the trigger/bolt handle. This is with both .308 & .280. In my opinion they work as well as a target rifle ejector should work. One of my Barnard's does not have an ejector & I intend to remedy that with the next rebarrel!

Hey Alan I will swap you bolt bodies.

Ha ha I used to do that with my old Omark - caught the case mid air at the same time already dropping my head to the spotting scope. Don't know how I used to do it - all in the subconscious.
