Strange ejection issue?
I was dry firing my 1903 with dummy rounds and the rifle refused to eject the first 3 rounds out of the magazine. They extracted fine but just sat there instead of ejecting. The last 2 ejected fine. I tried it several times with the same results every time. Any ideas?

We've been through this before, I think it's the spring. Could it be the wrong spring? An 03A3 spring instead? The thread is here somewhere if you take a look...

Ok after further investigation it looks like the tip of the ejector is slightly rounded instead of the nice sharp tip I see in the pictures and the rifle has a milled follower instead of a stamped one. I don't know if the follower is an issue with the stamped bottom metal but I ordered another one with spring as well as a new ejector. We'll see if that helps.
On a slightly happier note I discovered that the magazine charger's I got for my Swede will also work in my Springfield.

New ejector seems to have done the trick.
The tip of the old one was ever so slightly peened over. I guess it does not take much.
