Round not consistently extracting

mestguy182 · 10-12-2018, 02:13 PM

Went to the range today to see if any improvements had been made. I still had some failures to extract using WWB ammo. I also did the "tape test" and posted that picture below, does that indicate that the spring is too powerful? If so, would I remove some coils? There are currently 21.

Anyway, something kind of crazy happened, the new ejector I just put in broke at some point, sheared in half. I switched to some Sig 124 GR ammo after the ejector broke, and I must say, it seemed to have less failures to extract, could the ejector have had something to do with the FTE's? When I did have an FTE I had to use a screw driver to get out the shell, it was too difficult with my fingers, not sure if that's the norm. Can anyone recommend where to buy an original ejector from?
