I had a 0.004 gap on my rifle ejector, so looking at the same view as your rifle removed the upper pin from Rt. To Lt. inserted a 0.002 shim and replace the pin LT. to Rt. I will be shooting today and let you know if I have any problems…. But I have to say that your video was food for thought…. Thanks
@@ringsteeltv3179 It has been some time since I've have gotten back to you about the shin working and it does works very well, but I do have another problem with the Bergara, it does not like hollow points. Have you experienced the same problem?
@@lja4429 I think the only HP I shot was the American Eagle 38gr. It was a miserable group and the worst performing. My recollection was I thought something was wrong with the rifle after I shot it. I think you will find all HP rounds supersonic and possibly copper washed. I had zero luck with supersonic rounds. Thanks for watching!
Good video 👍 Looks like a easy fix. Just wondering if you sanded it down before you put it back in the chassis. Wondering if the dimples would affect the bedding?
Hey great video. I am particularly interested in what you call Bolt locking issue. I have not seen a video on that and that is my problem with my B14R. That occurred on first round I put in it. Just wanted to cycle live ammo and the failure rate was 50-90% depending on ammo. Bergara sent me replacement extractors. Got any other ideas on that? Keep up the great videos
Maybe I understand this incorrectly, but you seem to be staking the receiver. I thought the idea was to stake the ejector itself. Bottom line, either way will probably work.
That is correct. Im not staking directly on the ejector would work in this case. In my case it was loose in all directions. To stake from the bottom you would need to ensure the ejector was pulled as far away from the bolt as possible before using the punch. By staking the way its done here the ejector can be as close to the bolt as possible. If you look at BCG staking of the bolts holding the gas block you stake into the item that needs to be secured from the surrounding metal. Same with castle nuts. You don't stake the castle nut but the metal backplate it rests against. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!
Unfortunately this is Bergara's solution whether you do it or you send it in per the USA support rep. "As long as your ejector is not moving the only thing it can be is how you cycle the bolt. Mechanical ejectors only work as well as the individual cycling the bolt. Check for movement on the ejector and stake it if need be. Thanks, Camaran Waddell
@@ringsteeltv3179 Camaran I do understand but you would think Bagara would think more of their rifles and just add a couple of extra thousands to the ejector thanks for the info
Get a pointer when showing what you're talking about. Fingers are too big and you can't see what for ! You see those two screws @ 2:50 mins. they were hitting my mag. and messing up with loading a round so I filed them down and now the bolt moves freely over the lips of the mag. Before about 1 out os 10 would always jam when loading.
