If one "missed" ejection. Have a good look at the ejector before putting it away (that's a major sin to me, as you surely know by now ). I only start having "failures to eject" shortly before the ejector breaks.

Thank you Kurusu... I'm not sure what would indicate an "about-to-break-ejector" , but I will have a look.

The failed eject was the 2nd shot out of 4. Spent case remained partway in the chamber preventing the loading of the following round.

Perhaps also a dull extractor tip which actually catches the rim of the spent case when ejecting? or a spent case itself whose rim is a fraction of a mm too narrow? Doesn't take much.... Your opinion?
