KOBGT Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 I have a new Steelmaster and do not want to use a 90 degree mount. Anyone know a gunsmith that can tune the ejection so I don't get FTE issues. Preferably one that isn't a 6 month wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scootertheshooter Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I had the same issue but tuned the ejector and solved the problem . It was easy to to myself and I'm an idiot soooooo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee blackman Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 (edited) Benny Hill Triangle Shooting Sports is who I would recommend. I sent him my IMM Open that had horrible ejection issues, it came back running like a champ. I had him make and tune a spare extractor, and he was very affordable, had fast turn around, and great customer service. If your going to do it yourself, then a brazos oversized ejector, tune it, trim underneath to allow clearance for the magazine, and an aftec extractor with the typical tuning and fitting. Thats what mine has, and it runs. Edited December 2, 2014 by lee blackman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scootertheshooter Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I bought a offset mount before I tuned it so I didn't need to put it on. I still run the stock mount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EkuJustice Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Are you having issues because its hitting the mount or what kind of issues are you having. FTE can be a lot of different things and different causes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradhe Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 I bought one second hand that the original owner sold for FTE issues. Added an AFTEC extractor and a super long ejector. Spent a hour at the range moving the point of the ejector from the top down until it ejected cleanly (you can usually tell if the brass is in a neat little pile) No problems since then. The old parts went into the great parts bin in the sky. I normally think of STI guns more like kits than a finished product Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stardust tommy Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 step 1, look if the extractor is fitted tide with the firinpin stop (no clocking ) when you have a new STI extended 9mm ejector: I file a flat tip on the front with the "tip" not centered but 2/3 high. I also file the inside of the tip a bit to put the contact point a little bit more to the outside edge of the case. I dress the front of the extractor so the case can roll of the extractor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
