Blaser F16 ejector problem

[Roebuck243]

Hi I’ve a F16 Blaser and the blooming ejectors are playing up . Sometimes they work sometimes they don’t fantastic gun and love it but a bit annoyed at this .
Anyone with any experience what it could be mainly bottom barrel but can be both .
Wondered if anyone around Yorkshire area can look at it before it has to go to Blaser themselves.

I have an F16 Sporting and very occasionally get the top barrel (which I always shoot first) not ejecting, then it will work perfectly.
Can’t see anything wrong with the ejector?

I’ve owned two F16s - an early 30” game and a 32” sporter. The game model was purchased used and had intermittent ejection issues- particularly with high brass cartridges. The ejectors are not a simple home fix and in the event a spring or ball bearing going into orbit Blaser won’t supply the parts to the public. I was advised to flush the ejectors out with action cleaner and relube liberally with a teflon spray. This sorted the issue for a while. I ended up having it sent to Mulliners for their service which was around £300 but cured the problem completely.

My shooting buddy had this problem with his, our gunshop said its usually a timing problem with the ejectors.
It went away for sorting and while there it had a service which gave the gun a renewed warranty, its worth looking into.

Yeah have this service in mind but Blaser are three weeks wait ! Then postage back and forth .
That’s downside of a Blaser owning one suppose

All sorted now thanks
Stripped it down and found it

Any shotgun with ejector problems is usually a sign of gummed oils / corrosion/ gunk inside the action. It’s why a service is a good thing to have done, and have a service done at the end of a season so it can be done with plenty of time and without rushing.

Gunsmithing needs time and patience. Being in a rush means shortcuts are taken and job not done properly.
