If that works, load a single round (with the magazine in place) and fire. If the toggle does not lock back it could mean that the recoil spring is too strong or the ammo too weak.

I forgot to test fire the single round, and see if the toggle holds back. Crap, I forgot to try it. I have 3 horses here in front of shooting range, and i'm installing an outdoor woodstove. Busy, busy, and just forgot to try. Tomorrow is another day! Still the ejector looks not right to me. Thanks again Terry
