The bolt face farther as it goes back and stops. The back side of the bolt body and face, forcing the ejector farther inward into In the 740 operation, the bolt lip mountedД®xtractor pulls the fired case out of the chamber, holds it there and as theД«olt retracts rearward enough to cam the pivoted ejector inward into a slot in Very possible that you will see a 740 milled receiver, but with the later 740AД«olt in it as it is unlikely for 740 parts to run out at the exact same time. Then proven 760 bolt/riveted ejector system and renamed it to model 740A as wasД¬ommon in the industry then. Once those manufactured pivotedД®jector receivers were all used up, they then probably changed over to using the So enter the riveted extractor from the 760ДЄnd BINGO they could make things a go. It was nearly impossible to make it fit and function reliably in/around the But with this receiver mounted pivoted ejector, Then current model 721 (remember the riveted in one was not invented yet, until They apparently picked up and finished what 740 guns or receivers were already started,Д®ducated guess is that part of this problem could have been the gas system,ДЄlong with that they were probably trying to use the snap in extractor from the Then when engineering got many of the bugs out On the back burner, and focused then on getting the But partial production got ahead of engineering, so they Out first, or at least at or near the same time as the 760 pump. It seems that the factory may have wanted the semi-auto to come Treating of this long pivoting ejector was critical. Location then became a weak spot and ejector breakage, or material pulling looseДЄt the pivot pin lips of the C allowing the ejector to fall out. Hole more like a C with these small lips being the retainer part on the pivot pin. Pivot hole in the ejector, with the actual hole in the ejector being a partial Receiver where this ejector was mounted WAS NOT thick enough to allow the whole Visible differences as compared to the later type related to the pivot mountedД®jector mentioned in this article.
