I got this kit as well, but the ejector protruded too far so I used a dremel to remove some material and also put a 45 degree bevel toward the firing pin. This caused the bolt to extract and cycle flawlessly (no more rounds jumping up and hanging up) but the ejection was so bad I had to pluck the round out of there with my fingers for every shot. I am debating returning to the original ejector and just keeping the stronger spring (but then I'd have to deal with the round hang ups again).
@@dreamit.buildit I've tried compressed air with all holes plugged, as well as heat and soaking in oil. Spring still under it but it wont budge. Assuming it is hardened so drilling might not work well.
@@dreamit.buildit perhaps you'll have to file the plunger ejector down as well? or send it back to savage. Is yours a 6.5CM? I can't remember if you mentioned it in the video.
@dreamit.buildit From my understanding, the 6.5 CM rifles seem to have this issue the most. No idea why anything else in .308 parent case wouldn't, too. It's very bizarre to have things be so consistently wrong in a specific cartidge...albeit other calibers also have the same issue many times with the 110's. And something that a rifle shouldn't be experiencing after so many years of basic reproduction. Then again, Ford can't make a reliable door lock for an F150. Either way, rifles aren't cheap, and it's ultimately Savage who should do the work to begin with, imo. Hope things get better for you. Thanks for your time, and for making the video.
It is a great shooter but it does get frustrating when looking for aftermarket stocks. Not even a fraction of the support Remington 700 pattern rifles have.

I simply put a larger detent ball under the extractor, cured the problem
Did the kit work?
Big thanks for this video!
Really glad it helped you out.
Luck I have had that bearing take off . Thanks for sharing
This seems to be a problem with Savage? I've seen these Savage spring replacement videos on multiple channels.
It is definitely a know problem.
Any tips for getting a Kinneys broken off ejector plunger out of the hole? It is jammed in pretty good. Worked great until now.
I will look at mine and try to come up with a solution for you.

Great help thank you.
Awesome video. Thank you!
Thanks
Is there any difference between the 2 different kits they sell?
I don’t know the answer to that question. Sorry.
nice video,
did this work?
Yes. It took a few rounds to wear in/break in but now it is great.
Who sells the kit? What is the name of it?
SS-2402-2 Deluxe Savage Enhanced Extractor/Ejector Kit
Kinney's SKU: SS-2402
$28.95
Kinneys shooting supply
Did it work, or not?
I will have to make a follow up video. In short, kind of. It’s better but it is not 100% on the extraction.

@TheIslandExpat thanks for the suggestion I will have to give that a try. Yes it is a 6.5 creedmoor

I've found the Way to fix a Savage Place barrel in Vice bend in 90* and discard in the Trash. Problem solved...
I definitely understand your position 😂 sometimes I feel the same way.

I am a nervous wreck watching you work on the table with the holes.
🤣don’t worry, it has a lower deck with no holes. Anything that falls through is captured.
