I just got my first NEF. Have a question?

[utahman]

After spending some time debating wether or not to get one of these fine rifles, I finally did it and I love it!  It's a .204 and a sweet gun.

So my question is, when I break open the action, should the shell shoot out or just be pulled out enough for me to grab it and pull it out?  Mine does the later, it pulls out the case just for me to grab it and pull it out.

I recently read an article in Rifle Magazine about the NEF rifles and the author stated that the cases basically shot out when he opened the action.

What should mine be doing?  Is there something wrong with my rifle?  If so, is there a way to fix it?  I kinda like the idea of not having to pull out the case.

Thanks

Your rifle is doing just fine.  They have recently converted from and ejector (shoots the shell out at you) to an extractor, just pulls the shell out for you to grab.  You are in good shape.

Welcome aboard, and enjoy that 204

Thanks for the answer.  I owe part of my new found joy to this forum.  I did a lot of research before buying one and you'all helped!

 Welcome to the wonderful world of Handi-holics, What durat told is correct all 204 are extractors.
 some of other calibers are still ejectors, Marv.

Yup, my .204 bought new in October 2004 has an extractor, albeit a gen 1 extractor.
