So I got a m1917, Winchester mfg., and the darn ejector doesn't work. I've looked around the internet and it seems that broken ejector springs is a common problem with this model, but the thing is mine isn't broken as far as I can tell. When I install the ejector its got some slack to it, i.e. it moves back and forth on the screw a bit, but when I pull the bolt all the way back its taut, but still does not eject. Now I can't figure out if I'm reassembling it wrong, although it seems pretty easy to figure out; and the ejector worked before I disassembled and cleaned the thing out. I'm stumped.
