Hello!!
« on: September 19, 2006, 02:19:52 PM »
Hello Everyone,

I've been lurking a little while and I want to say this site is awesome! I've owned a 223 ultra since 96-97 (can't rem.) I bought a 308 survivor in 2000 and immediately switched the stocks. My cases have always stuck and I just used a rod to push it out. After reading posts here for hours! I got up the nerve to disassemble the ejector and remove all the oil that I'd been using in hopes of making it eject.

I went ahead and put it all back together and even switched back the stocks. Well guess what!? It's working!! I still plan to clean/polish the chamber.

My question is this, could the different stocks played a part at all? I've noticed that there is an * on some barrels. I think that means they only fit on certain year/type rifles. 

Thanks in advance for any input.

Welcome to the forum, Gilmo!! I wouldn't think the stock change had anything to do with it, but cleaning the ejector definately would! ;)

If you're referring to the asterisks on the accessory barrel list, that means they'll only fit those calibers to SB2 frames made 1999 or later, build year denoted by the second letter of the serial number prefix being N or later.

Just wondering, why do they only fit 99 or later?

The frames were made stronger from '99 on, better heat treating and material.
