The extractor and ejector together must be able to launch the spent cases up and over the shooter. If the cases land on your head or in your neck, the extractor spring needs attention.
I had a 1937 VoPo that consistently spewed its spent cases either in my face or in the back of my neck. After a new extractor spring the cases went up and away, as they should.
Never had much luck with aftermarket ejectors, so I installed original replacements.
Extractor springs, however, are available as aftermarket ones and they should work well.
