I discovered not all links post the same. Whilst trying to accommodate Jim with normal links instead of embedded video, I used the button your red arrow points to, only to find the YouTube links converted automagically to embedded video again, which is why I edited and just pasted plain text.
...new ejector pin and spring came in the mail yesterday. this one is the 45deg. bevel. I have another on its way that is the early 3-bevel type. I'm betting that some combination of new spring and/or different ejector will work sufficiently. I did not replace any of the springs when I got it, so the slide return spring is another cheap variable I can play with.

Possibly it does that with a phone, but works fine for me using a PC. I thought it might be of help for Jon to give it a try with his. Here's the links to those videos I came up with using a PC. For the links that I post, I always use the "preview post" option to make sure they work (at least for me) before submitting.
Do what you feel like with those springs, but although "knock-off" springs may work, the genuine USGI recoil springs are not cheap - they're also hard to find, even harder to correctly identify. The overall length, coil count, and the appearance of the end coils are a good place to start. Hope you get that one going again soon! I think the race has already started. - Bob
EDIT: Well, you were right - it did the same thing for me this time!
NOS ejector and spring came in. After more careful examination both ejectors are the 3rd type in the photo of post #42 - with a 45deg. bevel. However, as you can see, the new ejector spring is a bit longer, about 2 coils. The new one is installed, and both kids are now jonesin' for some carbine time this week.
I've always looked at the ejector as part of a system. I've had cases hitting me in the forehead and some flying right. I don't think that the type of ejector will make a major change in the results without other things. An extractor will effect the ejection, and I think that the main recoil spring has a lot to do with it too. I had one that was having all kinds of feeding extraction and ejection problems all of which went away with a new GI operating spring. I've changed ejectors to all three types that did absolutely nothing. Some just work. Making sure that the holes in the bolt are completely clean and that both bolt springs are in good shape helps. a lot as does making sure the weapon is lubricated. The oiling by manual standards is not sufficient in my opinion. That main slide spring does a lot more than just slam the bolt closed and as I noted, sometimes it cures all of the issues.
Quite right, the correct ejector may make all the difference, but in firearm with so many different components it is wise to change one thing at a time until you find the solution.
I'll take a guess...... A 1930-40s Marlin/Sears Ranger Model Maybe a 103-8 ??
Charlie, I guess we're both doing some "hi-jacking" of the OP's thread here, but the 22 is a (Western Auto) Revelation Model 100. The "Blue Book" says that's a Mossberg 321, but some on the "net" say it's closer to a 320. My oldest brother bought it for me 2 or 3 years after he joined the Army - think it was about 1961. He removed the part that engaged the safety every time you cocked the gun before he gave it to me, since he knew I didn't need it - all of us had been shooting Dad's single shot 22 (his Missouri squirrel gun) for several years by that time. Dad's single shot was also a "store brand" gun. I think it said, "White's Hardware Company - Kansas City Mo." on the barrel. I still have the original papers for the Revelation 100, so will add images below. Only complaint I ever had on it is the "stamped" bolt handle - looks cheap, but works just fine!
Winter weather came back here today, too - but not as bad as you're probably having. Portland got hit pretty hard today, though - traffic was nearly at a standstill most of the afternoon and evening. - Bob

Take it away! I'll chime back in when I have something to update, or if you move on to something that moves me. It's all interesting.
Here you go https://www.gunbroker.com/item/971751610 quite the steal if you can find a receiver.

Well, try the transition zone this week. 30's yesterday, getting up to 80 today, snow projected sometime over the weekend.
