They repaired my uncles Remington 700 in .25-06 in time for deer season.
Uncles Remington had sat for WAY too long with a spent case in the chamber.
This allowed the ejector rod to rust into it's hole in the bolt and would no longer pop out. It stayed flush with the bolt face.
I tried my best, removing the retaining pin and fully expecting to lose the ejector rod when it shot out.
No luck. I removed the retaining pin and nothing, the ejector stayed flush in the bolt.
SF Arms drilled the old ejector rod out of it's socket, cleaned, reamed and cleaned the socket again, the installed a new ejector rod, spring, and retainer pin.
Everything works perfect again and uncle is happy.
$50 out the door to drill out a pin, clean, and replace seemed reasonable to me.
Remington wanted to keep the entire rifle for "up to 15 weeks" for repair.
SF Arms did it in about 3 weeks, and they had to order carbide drill bits to complete the job.
