's for IPSC and Action Pistol matches, we used a Ransom Rest to indicate where the rounds were striking and we were able to home in on a pretty tight group. I'll know at the next shooting session.īy bench'n the gun you are bring a whole bunch of different variables into play that are not there(nor you want)when you shoot a match Since all my problems happened at the range while firing in matches, I'm not certain that what I have done will solve the problem Noīinding and the shells are punched out routinely. After working the rod for several hours over as many days, everything works fine now. In that area and polished it to a high shine. Since the first section of the rod was scraping on the right side of the frame as it exited, I relieved the hole The opposite end of the extractor rod was cut square which also left a sharp edge around the circumfrence so I radiused the edge My thoughts were that the sharp edge of the shoulder was catching in the rings on occasion In the tube, was stoned to a mirror finish. This edge, along with the entire area of the fixture that rides Shoulder of the button fixture the entire length of the exposed shoulder. Up to 3M Polishing Paper, I polished the inside of the tube to a mirror finish, removing 95% of the milling rings.

Number three, although the rod itself is visibly straight, ie, 90 degrees to the shoulder of the button fixture, the rod flexes as it (While we are speaking of the button, is this piece sweated onto the I missed in my previous inspection and subsequent stoning. Number two, the shoulder of the ejector button fixture where the spring stops is extremely sharp and had a couple of burrs that Number one, the inside of the ejector tube was scored by the milling cutter at the factory leaving numerous deep rings along the This is what I discovered last week and a description of what I did to hopefully aleviate the problems with ejecting.

It was tight and the housing was square on to the barrel. One of the first things I did when the rod acted up to begin with was to check the screw holding the rod housing in place. Your gun has those Gremilns that used to be on the Bugs Bunny WW II Cartoons Good thing is that you can get them for about 5 bucks online I had that problem on my Ruger and I discovered that the screw holding the front of the ejector housing to the barrel had loosened, it caused just enough free play for it to bind have you checked the screw tightness before you disassembled it to see what is happening on the inside? If not I am going to agree with Chickasaw and say most likely it is the spring.
