I had a mismatched VoPo with the same 'features'. The cases kept hitting me in the face, or on top of my head, and all were dented. Finally I replaced the extractor spring and all went back to normal.

Well the rounds seem to jump high well enough and usually bang me on the top of my head after hitting the ceiling above the shooting station. i'll take a looksie at the spring; anything I should notice when looking at it if it's a weak spring? Could the ejector be cutting into the rounds that give that triangular shaving pattern (see original photos) Thanks! Great info as well.
