Failure To Eject

[pennrg]

I'm assembling an old shooter out of mixed parts, and I expect some debugging. At this point, everything seems to be functioning normally except the ejector.

After the round fires, the toggle cycles normally; the extractor pulls the casing back, but it stays engaged. The next round starts up out of the mag as the casing clears, but the hung casing jams as the breech block moves forward. I pull back on the toggle slightly, and let the mag spring forces the spent casing out of the extractor and the next round slides into the breech.

I wonder if the ejector is worn out. I have a photo that shows the measured width of the triangular portion that slides in the block to, presumably, stop the casing's travel and help spit it out of the extractor.

I'd be interested in any guidance anyone might have for me.

Thanks,
Bob Penn
