Hello,
I found this pic I made years ago illustrating how to fit the Mosin ejector and figured I'd share it with you.
Ejection Performance/Bolt Drag
The tabs front and rear are filed until the ejector gives max performance; I like to go until just before it contacts the inside of its channel in the bolt. In other words, I don't like it to drag on the bolt, so I stop just before it does. Additionally, these tabs regulate how far in or out the interrupter goes, and can therefore affect rimlock; ie, file more for more cartridge interrupter engagement.
Stripper Clip Loading
The red shaded area is the relief for the cartridge rim. Without it, when you load from clips, you are effectively pushing the ejector downward, keeping it in place. This keeps the rounds from sliding into the magazine easily. Cut a crescent shape (as shown on this one) with a file and smooth it out with fine grit wet-dry sandpaper.
I hope this helps someone.
Regards,
Josh
