johoevasmatrix Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Hey guys a friend of mine just got a mk model 70 and was a bit concerned about it putting a dent in the side of the brass I don't think it is a big deal but thought it better to ask someone more familiar with 1911. Not sure how big the dent is he is going to mail me some rounds and let me take a look. I will try to post pics if I think it is too extream. Just wondering what might be the cause of the dent.

mike l m Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 The dent maybe from the side of the case hitting the ejection port side, may not be cut enough on the port. Nothing to worry about. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harley999 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 I have seen this with my Glock 19 and asked some local Glock shooters. This seems to be a known experience with a Glock and it is the casing being nicked during the ejection process. I get a small, almost triangle like nick that is about 1/16 inches. This causes no problems and is removed by my resizing die. I blamed my shooting low and left on the nick but no one here is buying it. Hope this helps...

NoSteel Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Not unusual. Where does the brass land on the ground?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLSlim Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Pretty common with many autos. My G30 is the worst, but nothing to worry about! As noted above the case is hitting the ejection port. They are fine to resize and reload. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johoevasmatrix Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 Got the brass today and it was from hitting the ejection port so thank you fuss for the heads up on what to look for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johoevasmatrix Posted August 9, 2012 Author Share Posted August 9, 2012 Here is the brass it looks like it is getting smashed and has scrapes down the side that is smashed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astephenson Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I find it hard to believe that a gun that functions is capable of deforming a case THAT much. Does he have more than one piece of brass that looks like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Rod Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I find it hard to believe that a gun that functions is capable of deforming a case THAT much. Does he have more than one piece of brass that looks like that? I've seen and experienced much worse. A resizing die will take that right out but I've had brass hit the case mouth or even get caught by the slide and tear the metal. No big deal especially if he doesn't reload otherwise tuning the extractor or ejector will most likely take care of although it might be little more challenging on that gun since I don't believe it has a lowered and flared ejection port.

johoevasmatrix Posted August 10, 2012 Author Share Posted August 10, 2012 I have a whole bag of brass from this gun. It all looks the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob DuBois Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 might try a lighter recoil spring or shape the angle on the ejector slightly back on the ejecton port side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
