Always failed to eject.

Needless to say this made no sense at all.

Unless the ejector broke on the first shot, i cannot explain it.

He is a shooter and says he is not limp wristing the hold.

There is no "adjustment" to be made, unless you cut a coil from the mainspring.

Wolf offers three different "ratings" of main spring IIRC, 34,36,38 lbs.; they are a pain to change as you may know, but that would be where to start IMO.

Hi Don.I'm the guy and added info for anyone else with the same trouble.

New FMJ Fiocchi 93gr.Gun ejects perfectly 100% toggle snapped by hand.100% FTE otherwise.It needs a little less spring or a little more umfff in the ammo I guess.Gun clean and well lubed.Don was great to deal with during the sale by the way and has been very helpful trying to get me running.
