Like Chuck says.
Take the rifle out of the stock.
Remove the ejector.
You will be able to see the end of the shaft from the inside of the bolt rail where the ejector was.
Push out the shaft enough to be able to grab it and extract it.
Another alternative would be to clean the end of the shaft to remove any oil and grease and then glue a metal pin, screw, nail, whatever to it using "crazy glue".

Then pull it out using the glued on item as a extension.

Guys, it's a M1922 M2 - there is no ejector that I can remove :( . Will bring it to the gunsmith and give him a try on the glue-solution as it didn't work out when I've just tried it.

just look inside the bolt rail just under the receiver bridge..

ill bet the spindle is in backwards, if you tighten the screw in the cutoff, it should push the spindle out, as the screw sets in the small groove...maybe remove the screw, and push the spindle out with a pick.
-
That's what I was telling him too...I wish it was closer, I'd have it out for him now!
-
me as well, in about 15 seconds.

I already tried to push it out with a small screwdriver through the hole .. doesn't seem to work aswell, lol. I tried it on some other M1903's, there was no problem at all to remove the cut-off spindle. I have no idea why this one just doesn't want to move :( . BAR, thanks for the offer. Do you already have any plans for summer holiday? ;)
BTW, Chuck I've sent you an inquiry on a cutaway M1903 this week, didn't receive any answer. Am I'm going to get a reply?

I've a female friend that would love to find out we were going to Europe for the summer's vacation. She'd be a bit surprised to find out why once we got there though...I'm sure a trip to the Austrian Alps would help her feelings!

Not sure this is going to help, but how about trying this to see if the shaft is seized in the bolt rail.
1) Put the screw back into the cut-off and tighten it a much as you can so it grabs the shaft.
Move the cut-off up and down.
2)Does the shaft rotate?
3)If you get the shaft to rotate then the application of penetrating oil and pushing thru the hole might just do the trick.
Good luck.

didnt know that was you, i was going to answer over the weekend, taken care of house loan BS, and keepin up with work.... dont think i have anything that i can send over seas without a importer..barrels, actions ect,, i have a couple demilled Actions, not sure i want to part with them.
lots of plugged barrels, but i belive even plugged barrels have to sent through an importer..
i have a guy here that does that, just not sure its worth the import duties,
