I have a problem with my BAR 30.06 made in 1987. It seems to have a weak ejection in that the spent casings barely make it out of the gun if the don't hang out the side of it. The bolt is coming far enough back to pick up the next round but 1 out of 3 usually hang up in the way I mention earlier. The things I have done are below:
1. Cleaned gas piston and gas block.
2. Cleaned gas port in barrel with torch cleaner.
3. Cleaned action bars and receiver.
4. Cleaned bolt and inspected for broken part.
5. Cleaned chamber and it seems to be perfect.
I have noticed that on my other BAR's the spent casing has a flat side on its neck where I assume the touches the side of the chamber as it ejects but the one that is jamming is perfect round. I feel the problem is in the bolt but wanted some extra input from more knowledgeable guys..
