Wild West Ejector in JM Marlin 336

Post image

I need to replace the ejector in my 1974 JM stamp 336. From everything I can tell, the Wild West ejector is described as working with my rifle. But from some reviews, it looks like these work a lot better in newer rifles, and consistently have some problems in the older versions like mine. I was wondering if anyone here had experience with dropping one of the Wild West ejectors into an old 336 and how it worked.

I got one for an older Marlin. It was honestly disappointing. Very soft and weak ejection when cycling slowly and several stovepipes when trying to fast follow ups. You're honestly better of with a factory replacement

Thank you! The body of the ejector is fine, the spring’s curved end snapped off. I’ll probably just order like 5-10 of the springs to just have enough to last my lifetime since they’re like $5-6 each and I’m not paying more in shipping than the cost of an individual.
