    Get a flat needle file and put a small chamfer on the top edges of the ejector to stop it catching. It won't need much to solve it. You should be able to do it in place if you are careful.

    johnd liked post by Kimber 7mm-08 On thread : Proof marks on a P14
    Remington made P14's are generally poorly struck when it comes to proof marks etc. I think you'll find that CVA is actually part of a crown at the top (poorly struck so looks like a C), then other...
