Thanks Jack, I did mean ejector. Here is how I did mine. It will take three hands. Find a buddy. You will need two drift punches. Take the bolt from the rifle. Clamp a round drift punch or steel rod just smaller than a 223 case headin a vise horizontally. This will be used to depress the ejector button. Now another drift punch to push the roll pin from the ejector. The ejector button has a small window in it to allo w this roll pin to hold the ejector in the bolt. With slight pressure on the ejector button push the roll pin out. (note if you can move it just enough to let the plunger and spring out it will hold in one side. makes reassembly easier.) Onece the roll pin has been moved enough to remove the ejector button, tap the face of the bolt on a block. there will be a small spring in there. With dykes, cut about 2 coils off the spring and reassemble. Test fire the rifle. If they still toss too far, take 1 more coil from the spring and try again. If you take too much of it will smoke stack on you and you will have to replace the spring and start over. If you take it a little at a time, you can get them to all fall in a ball cap beside the rifle when shooting prone. Standing they will land in a carry all box at your right leg. From a bench they will land in a cigar box on the table.
