walnutty Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Hello Guys, I have a Para P-16 with a loose ejector so I decided to install an EGW 40 s&w ejector. I left the original length as is because it was able to clear a loaded round during function testing. Went shooting yesterday (100 rounds factory) and on the last round, the case mouth was crushed and wedged between the front of the ejection port and the ejector. Found out the ejector was bent down and left. I was able to remove the slide at home after bending the ejector again inwards to clear the slide. Is this ejector done with? Would you have another ejector recommendation that's easier to fit? This EGW required material to be removed from the sides (most difficult & time-consuming task), top, back, bottom of tip, etc. Thanks in advance!

yoshidaex Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Did you happen to slam a loaded magazine in with the slide locked back? You can try and bend it back but depending on the heat treat, it may break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmca Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 +1 bend it back, you've got nothing to lose. If it stays together, and my guess is that it will, shorten the nose a little. Had the same thing happening to a Springfield 9mm. Sent it back to Springfield and they replaced it but it bent again. I shortened the nose and it hasn't happened again.

ltdmstr Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 If you bend it back it's probably only a matter of time before it breaks. The nose on that thing is way longer than it should be. Probably by about 3x. Should be tuned as well, not just cut down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walnutty Posted February 3, 2013 Author Share Posted February 3, 2013 Thanks guys for the advise. Yeah, I should have cut it shorter to begin with. Already contacted EGW. They want to look at the part. I'm not too sure I want to go through the trouble of refitting a new EGW ejectror though. Just too much work. Would an STI ejector be easier to fit? Thanks.
