Barnard P action ejector question

[Tahoe Shark]

My dasher has a Barnard P action with the ejector in it. When cleaning the bolt I removed the pin holding the ejector in. Upon reinstalling the pin it slightly bent and will not line up. I will try to order another roll pin but in the mean time can I remove the spring and ejector pin and still shoot the rifle. I know the extractor will pull the brass out but will the empty ejector hole cause any problems?

Yes, you can shoot it, lots of guys take them out. It is probably a standard roll pin. Matt

Lay it down on a flat surface (hard wood is best) and whack it with a hammer,,,Roger

Depending on your chamber clearances - yes

It can make your rifle more accurate to the point where you don't ever want to reinstall it
