Sako 94S ejection problems

[Travelor]

I have a Sako Finnfire Range that has developed a problem. About 1 out of every 3 fired cases fail to properly eject. They extract just fine, but are not ejected from the action.

Ideas?

Pleaes don't ask what ammo, scope, rest, etc. This has no bearing on the question as iot happens will ALL ammo. Alos, the gun is cleaned between each range trip.

I had the same problem with mine a long time age.
It has to do with the wire ejector wire mechenism next to the clip. It can become bent or out of alignment or worn from use. I just made one out of piano wire and it worked but be careful I don't know if the holder is still availible from Beretta.

THUD, thanks. Any pictures or drawings of what one SHOULD look like?

George,
I don't have gun anymore but try to find an parts diagram and go from there.
I did have an extra mag body but I can't find it now. Some one may. Try rimfire central those guys know their stuff.
