I found a remington 783 yesterday in 270 for $279, with a leupold scope mounted that I can pull and sell for $225, so the rifle was dang near free. I have wanted a 783 because they can take savage barrels and I like the solid top action, mainly just to tinker with the gun and maybe set it up for a kid. Well there must have been a reason it was so cheap. I didn't notice it, but it appears that the ejector actually broke and siezed in the recess. the roll pin was so stuck I had to drill out the roll pin to finally get what remained of the ejector out. Only problem is finding another one looks like its going to be a big problem. it sounds like the marlin XS and XL 7 have many of the same parts. but is there any other ejectors from other guns that might work?
