    Missing Ejector Pin! HELP!!!

    I put a brand new LMT BCG I bought today in my newly built AR upper and went shooting. The first round fired, then after the second round fired, it jammed. The second round casing didn't eject. I pulled the charging handle back and engaged the bolt release to hold it back and I took the empty casing out with my fingers and released the bolt to chamber the third round. The third round fired and the empty casing didn't eject again. I took the BCG out and inspected it and noticed the little ejector pin on the bolt face was gone. Its the little spring loaded pin that pushes the casing out when the carrier goes back. There was no way I could find the little pin on the range floor and didn't find it in the rifle after shaking it. I did see the pin while at the store this morning when I was looking at it. Please see Picture below. Is the ejector pin something that can be replaced or do I have to buy a new bolt? I have the receipt.

    Is the cross pin that holds it still in the bolt? If it is, I can only guess the plunger broke. Yes, you can replace this, but if the bolt is new, extange if for a not broken one!

        call who you bought it from and see if at minimum they will send you a new ejector pin.

          I called Riflegear and they said they'd exchange the bolt out right. Those guys are awesome. The downside is I have to drive 65 miles to do that since I'm in Murrieta.

            It actually is a pretty quick fix but its great hear that Riflegear stands by thier products. They have good prices too.

              I shop from them too. Why can't you just mail it to them? Didnt you buy it online?

                Hell, I've driven to Riflegear from Northridge just for the sake of shootin' the breeze and browsing.
                Loser? Yeah, so what. I'm married. I don't have to worry about it as much anymore.
