Why did my ejector break :(

There is a reason why ejector springs are not numbered: They will break at one time or another. Nothing to do with loads or the gun itself. Like brake pads on a car, it is a part that wears and must be replaced once in a while.

And if it was a stamped/engraved number, it would break *at* the number...

My question - Does repeated removing & re-installing the ejector (to clean under it) weaken it???

Well, it shouldnt have to flex that far to get it out. What makes it flex is the shells hitting the point of ejection.
