Is it not feeding into the chamber, not being extracted or not being ejected?

 

I have had no problems cycling the HSM bear loads, 430 gr. No loading problems, no FTF, no FTE. The only time I had an FTE was when I cycled the lever after a shot and the rifle wasn't with HSM loads , the rifle wasn't "level", it was tilted a bit too far to the left so gravity was working against the eject.

 

Still shooting my 1895SBL 1996 Marlinton / Remlin.

That's a very rare rifle seeing that Rem. didn't acquire Marlin until 2007. I hope you get it sorted out.

 

Yeah, apparently it was made with some original Marlin and some Remington parts. Lol 2006. Not 1996. Man I'm getting old. I'll take some pics and post for you. Marlin New Haven CT and a Rep barrel stamp. I phoned Grizzly Customs in MT and he confirmed what I discovered on my own. The basic answer he gave was that it was non collectible.

 

I use them often......no problems

 

It's not getting extracted. It appears to be to long. If the meplat was smaller the edge of the bullet looks like it would clear. I'll measure the overall length again.

 

I have this problem as well on my Remlin 1895gbl, For now, i shoot the hornady gummy tips which cycle fine, but will send it in to the gunsmith in the Spring.

 

Im glad to know that they're supposed extract without any issues. I will purchase another box give it another try. I'll post the results and take a pic if the problem persists.

NIB. I'll dig up the sales receipt to double check but I'm pretty sure that's when I bought it.

I have had no problems with the loading or ejecting of rounds. What is the length of the rounds you are trying to use?

 

2.544 in

 

First time posting pictures. Please let me know if you cant see them. I'm not sure if I did this correctly.

GM

 

Purchased another box with the same results. HSM 45-70 GOV'T + P 400 Grain Speer JFN

Over all Bullet length was 2.544 in. Here are some pics of the problem. The last pic is of the live round stuck in the chamber. The lever is extended all the way however the tip of the bullet wont clear. Thoughts?

 

Gentleman, I’ve found the problem.

The tip of the ejector was squared off, basically flat on the very end. As you work the action and the bolt moves back, the rim of brass was hitting the tip of the ejector rather than allowing the bullet to move back.

Gentleman, I’ve found a solution.

I removed the ejector and ground down a small portion to smooth it off. The tip of the ejector now has a slight slope which allows the cartridge to move back to the proper position. Basically I was losing the distance of my ejection by the distance from the tip of the ejector to the notch.
I’m ordering a wild west ejector as a replacement, but this one seems to work fine now. I'm hopeful this will help anyone else who may have this issue.

Attached is a pic of my handy work.

What tools did you use to file the extractor? Is there a good brand or kit you recommend?

 

Glad to hear you figured it out. I have it on my list to acquire some of these.

 

Very nicely done. Glad you got it figured out and you can go out and have some fun now.:congrats:Also those were some great pictures you took of your acquisition and the problem you were having.

 

Well done. Thanks for sharing the solution. I have had a few difficulties with the HSM 430 gr Bear Loads ejecting a spent casing but it was when I was not ejecting with sufficient vigor and/or tipping the rifle to the left as anther poster said. I have found the total length of the Bear Loads is considerably longer than specs in my Speer manual.

 

Thank you ClyedP

Those HSM Bear loads are no joke. I shot a box from the bench and that's the last time I'll do that. As for the OAL I've found them to be longer too.

GM

 

Exactly. My 73% Meplat caused me to adjust my COAL for reliable extraction of an unfired round. You'll get it.

 

.73 Wow. I though the .64 Meplat that was was loading was flat. Do you gas check those? Looks like the old flying ashtray rounds. Nice pic. Thanks for sharing.

Congratulations on getting it working right. The rifle you have is what I wanted for over 6 years. I settled for a blued version and had to file and stone ALMOST every part. It had 12pound + trigger pull.

Sorry for getting off on my own problems that are mostly fixed now.

Congratulations.

TY much.

I too had a few issues with this build. The trigger on mine was 8.5 pounds bit I was able to work it down to 4 pounds. No slop or creep, I'm happy with the trigger.

 

I had FF with my SBL with this very load. Accuracy was all over the place too. After a trip to Ranger Point Precision, the problems were fixed. I’ve found the load to be stout but accurate now that the rifle works as designed but not built - and mine is a JM too.
