I have a marlin 1895M in 450 Marlin calibre that i am having some trouble with. It seems that the stock ejector works just fine when i cycle cartridges through it without firing, but as soon as i fire the gun, it no longer ejects the spent cartridge. The extractor still extracts the empty cartridge from the chamber, but the ejector fails to kick the shells out of the action. Its kinda frustrating me, i have taken everything apart and cleaned it good, put it all back together and it still doesnot work correctly. Would anyone be able to give me some pointers or let me know where i would be able to find the Wild West Bear Proof Ejectors here in Canda. It seems that there only canadian distributer that i can find no longer exists, thanks for any help.

I believe Backcountry in Fort St. John, BC carries WWG parts. I have the ejector and it works great but I've never had a problem with my Marlin.
That is an odd problem indeed. Are these factory rounds or reloads? It sounds like the fired case is moving in some unusual fashion during the opening of the bolt as the only difference aside from minor dimensional change is that the fired case does not have the additional length of a bullet. Have you tried loading and then extracting a fired case slowly so you can see the movement of the case as it comes back? Perhaps the extractor is somehow pulling the case askew so that it doesn't engage the ejector properly?
I doubt that a WWG ejector will solve the problem but according to their website the Cdn. dealer is:

There are some surfaces on the cam of the ejector that may be worn. I'd dismantle it again and compare it very carefully to a picture on the web. Also look at the channel (bolt and receiver) that the ejector slides in and make sure that it isn't worn etc.
You may want to look from the outside where the ejector pin pops out of the receiver as you cycle the action. Any movement there may indicate something out of kilter, either on the ejector or the receiver
If everything looks good, I'd take the original ejector and bend it out the spring a bit more. I read on the web where some guys tried this and it worked.
If still nothing, I'd then try either a new stock ejector or a Bear Proof one, whichever you prefer. I'd do all of this before sending it to a gunsmith.
