primo86gt Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 I have a Bul M5, Shoots great but ejects the spent round over my right forarm / elbow about 8ft and is hits the range glass about 4ft up, there is a row of chairs along the back wall and the brass hits anyone sitting there in the head. Im going to measure all the ejectors in my other 1911's and maybe shorten it up. Most of my other guns the brass lands at their feet.. And probably change the the slide spring out. Any thoughts??

sti38super Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 If it is going behind you ,you need a stronger recoil spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeRush Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Comparing it to other 1911s is a good idea, I know my Kimber would not run until I shortened and profiled the ejector using a great guide on the Brazos website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParaGunner Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 If it's reliable and runs good then why change it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read the article after I made some other changes, good read and I profiled the ejector as described works great now, still throws an occasional 4 1/2 to 5 ft. case but most of them fall about a 1 1/2 ft from my right foot, no more flyers..

Did you overspring it? Contouring the ejector should change the angle of exit from your gun, but without reducing slide speed your spent cases will still be thrown the same distance. Reducing the rearward slide speed requires that you either change the load you are shooting or replacing the mainspring/recoil spring combo.
