Are they in Jerry Kuhnhausens Gas Operated Service Rifles book? I'd look in my copy but it is packed into a POD at present.

Nope and I was surprised. The book doesn’t talk about ejectors or springs for either the Garand or M14 other then to say to indicate they are there and when to add when building a bolt.
Also, got another email from the Vendor and they acknowledged their mistake. |

From DIFFERENT, who wrote the book of the History of the M14 rifle:
M14 extractor plunger spring: 0.48 " reference free length 12 coils M14 ejector spring: 2.13 " reference free length 40 coils M14 operating rod spring: 15.23 " reference free length 104 coils References: USGI drawings B6008886, B7267959, and B7267079 IIRC, Ted Brown recommends replacing the operatng rod spring when it gets to 1 " less than its new condition free length, so ~ 14 1/4 ". In my experience, the extractor spring lasts more than 5000 rounds but at 5000 rounds is when I find myself replacing the ejector spring. YMMV and HTH |

A fired 30.06 case helps with disassembly/assembly of the bolt internals. Chamber the 30.06 case, the op-rod spring holds the bolt/ejector and extractor tight. Flip the rifle over and use a small punch to drive extractor stem out from the bottom of the bolt. Pull op-rod back slowly to capture ejector spring/stud.

True but the 06 case holds the bolt farther out for ease of access. I prefer to do it right in the gun with the longer 06 case. The gun does the holding of parts. The garand chamber brush tool also does the same job. I was going to upload a photo of the M1 and the M14 ejector and spring combos next to a ruler I just took but yea, brownells. |
