Any early savage action guys here?

I purchased an early savage long action from a member here. When I got it it was not 100% as described.
This is an early boss Rem 700 style boat head action. Mag bolt face. Has the clip on sheet metal extractor but the ejector that pops up from the bottom of the bolt head is missing. Hard part is I don’t see where it would go like on my control feed WSM action.

If someone is familiar with these older actions and could PM me so I can ask some questions that would be helpful.

Not sure, but think I remember the ejector is part of or attached to the magazine box.

It is
Just figured those details out.
To convert to new bolt stuff you have to replace pretty much everything forward of the bolt.
 
I got one that was a mid length action.
Because the pin in the bolt head is at a different angle I took a old long action bolt body and mad a new bolt for it that takes the new head with the extractor pin and flat bolt face, new firing pin.
Now I can use aftermarket barrels although i chamber my own.
I removed the old extractor setup and it still uses the original internal box mag.
I can't remember for sure but the firing pin may have worked just fine because they are adjustable.
