aussieSVlover Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 (edited) A shooting friend is having issues with ejection with an S_I open gun as the gun is only ejecting fired cases approx 2 feet and will stove pipe approx 1 in 50 rounds. The gun is running a Schuemann Hybrid barrel, 3 port steel comp and the slide (9mm) is 3 sided with a rear scallop and is running a Wolf 7-8lb recoil spring with an unknown weight hammer spring(Their are no ignition problems). The load is factoring at 168 pf with Starline 38 Supercomp brass which have only been loaded about 5 times. We have so far tried normal bend em till they are right Wilson/Brown extractors, an Aftec extractor with long and short tension springs, long,medium and short ejectors, short and longer hammer springs as well as magazines from other shooters. The only alteration to the gun that made any difference was the Aftec extractor which did not increase the distance the cases were ejected but were a little bit more consistent with where the cases landed. Any ideas on what to do next would be greatly appreciated. Edited March 22, 2011 by aussieSVlover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julien Boit Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Maybe the angle of your ejector. Check Brazos Custom website, he have some good articles about tuning your parts for 100% reliability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benny hill Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Sounds like a bad timeing issue on the barrel. Hold gun in right hand, push comp hard against a bench & see if the slide is easy to move. If it drags, bad timming & will never work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi-Power Jack Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Possible you need a lighter spring? 7-8 lbs sounds light, but if the brass is going 2 feet at pf 168, your spring might be too heavy - I just put a new 10 lb spring in my TruBor, and it felt a LOT heavier than the 10 lb spring I had in my other TruBor. I replaced the one 10 lb spring with another 10 lb spring, and it works much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t_kothmann Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 a heavy main spring will affect this as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hannu Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Listen to Benny and take your gun to somebody (like Benny) who knows what "timing" means and can see what is going on. If you have a bad timing problem and just continue shooting it, you will break lots of expensive parts after some time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
