    lock stock and barrel,

    I disassemble about 90 of these a month and every one has a chamfer around the upper edge and the ejector sits even with the lower portion of the chamfer.

    If yours is sitting 0.062" proud then I think you found your problem.

    Best.

    Usually just a roll pin punch for the ejector and a standard punch for the extractor.

    I hold the bolt in a vise with padded jaws so I can access both pins. Tap out the ejector roll pin while keeping your finger over the ejector to keep it from launching across the room and then just push out the extractor pin.

    Best.

    I pulled the ejector pin and the roll pin which was sort of holding it in was half gone.

    lock stock and barrel,

    There are many fixes in gunsmithing that don't actually require the expertise of a gunsmith in order to accomplish them. With good directions, sometimes some reading or even a video, can help most folks solve the easier problems and save some money while they're at it.

    The best part though is the gratification which comes from solving and executing the solution on your own.

    I'm glad it worked out for you. Enjoy the rifle!

    Best.
