I tried to file the underside of the claw, it did help a bit. While trying to solve my left POI problem I think I have solved this one. The barrel isn't indexed exactly, so the extractor isn't entering the recess in the barrel and as such is not getting a full grip on the rim. I finally had a friend...

Finally got home and checked out the alignment of the barrel and bolt. The extractor doesn't quite go into the center of the recess in the barrel. The extractor contacts the ramp area just above the center of the recess then slides into the hole pulling the front of the bolt down slightly butt it lo...

Thanks for the replies. I bought a Williams FP sight for it and last Friday I boresighted it. Even when boresighting the front sight had to be tapped left and the rear sight off to the right. So that makes me think it is not the crown but the front sight. It seems the front sight is slightly angled ...

Well if you look at J Miller's pics, the extractor and ejector are the same as mine. He/she has fired many, many rounds wit no problems. I don't think the extractor design and position is the problem. I tend to think the extractor is just worn to the point it's not functioning correctly any longer. ...

Thanks for those replies. When you 'faced off' the front of the barrel did you somehow chamfer the the face into the bore? I believe this rifle may have been cleaned from the muzzle end rather than taking it apart and cleaning from the breech end, so it may have rod damage as well. I'll have to try ...

Yes there are different numbers for different extractors, but one number covers quite a few different calibers, not all but a few. All AE except 357 Mag, 357 Mag, and top eject. Three different extractors. The way the extractor fits the groove in the bolt it can only grab the case with the corner or...

Rifle consistently shoots way left. I have a 94AE in 45 colt. I bore sighted it and started sighting a new Williams receiver sight at 25 yards. Point of impact was about 12". I didn't expect it at zero but that was a bit much since I had it pretty well bore sighted. adjusted the sight and got c...

I got someone to order an extractor for me and have it shipped to a shipping depot in Montana. I was going to get the shipping company to mail it to me but they will not send anything connected with firearms across the border. Now the extractor is stuck in Montana until I can get there or get a frie...

Thank you for the replies, I apologize for not saying this earlier. I took a couple pics of the breech block with a borescope. Looks like it's a converted rimfire. I cant tell if the rimfire pin hole has been filled or is empty, which would be a poor conversion. I'll have to take it apart when I get...

That's the hard part, getting an extractor in Canada.
Working on getting an extractor and ejector spring. If/when I get one of each I'll let you know if it fixed the problem.

Thanks again for the replies and suggestions.

I saw a couple videos about converting from rimfire to centerfire, don't know if that was done here. After a few more hours on the web, it looks like an 1890s rifle which would have been manufactured rimfire. But I see Savage arms bought Stevens arms and made the brand well into the mid 1900s, I won...

The firing pin is centered in the chamber, looks like a Centerfire not a Rimfire.

Kinda wondering where to get info on the rifle itself, Looks like Savage owned Stevens arms, I just can't tell if the gun is pre or post
Savage.

Howdy, I'm trying to gather info on a J. Stevens single shot lever. Been on the computer for a couple hours trying to find out what model, when it was made and if 32 long means 32 colt or 32 S&W. It has an Octagon barrel, which is removable by loosening a screw under the action. Moving the lever...

OK I took it apart and got some pics of the bolt similar to J Miller's.

I have a theory I want to run past anyone caring to read. The unfired dummy rounds and unfired cases ejected well, for the most part. I just put 20 of the fired cases into the chamber and cycled the action, they all ejected well, the faster I cycled the further they flew. But the cases didn't eject ...

Well OK, I'll pull the bolt yet again. Looked OK last time, I'll take pics like the ones J Miller's above to compare. I'll try to measure the pounds force the ejector spring has. Funny thing, the case I had in the gun when I took the pics I posted earlier didn't eject from the Rifle when I was at th...

No I took it apart and cleaned it up. Free to full-travel.

I'd buy a new ejector spring and extractor if I could get them shipped, but no luck.
I'm wondering if it is something besides those parts, something I can do to fix it with tools not parts. If I knew someone with the same gun nearby I'd borrow his her bolt just to test. I'll ask around at the range.

I searched some previous posts and found a pic of the ejector in a Colt 45 open action, looks the same as mine. Yes cartridge specific, not all have the same extractor. I'm guessing the handgun cartridges, especially the 45 Colt have small rims compared to the case diameter, so just the corner of th...

The extractor grabs the case and pulls it back, then the ejector pushes the case out of the extractors grip but not enough to eject it from the action, I have to tip the rifle to dump the case that is lying on the rails or carrier. I'll try to post a couple shots of the extractor pulling the case. e...

Howdy, thank's for the welcome. The brass is Winchester, fired, dummy rounds and new all from the same bag. I've not used Winchester brass before. I usually use Peterson brass for my precision rifle and Starline for the 45-70, 38-40, 44, etc. Measured 10 spent, 10 new and the three dummys. Diameter:...

Howdy, I just bought a 94AE 45 Colt, and like so many others, have ejector problems. When I bought the gun I put three dummy rounds into it, 250 grain bullets, they ejected just fine. Monday I went to the range, none of the spent casings would eject, they all extracted but none ejected. I took it ap...
