How does the extractor work on a Remington 592M?

Answer 1

The ejector located inside the left side of the receiver is drug reward by a leaf spring on the bolt on this rifle. The ejector has a shoe on the forward end which is part of the chamber and assists the extractor in removing the cartridge from the chamber. About halfway to the open position a coil spring located in a slot on the left side of the receiver under the thin metal cover overcomes the bolt spring pressure and pops the ejector loose and returns it to its forward home position. As the bolt continues rearward a lip on the back end of the ejector contacts the cartridge case rim and kicks it out when the bolt is fully rearward.
