93notch Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Hey everyone I have a witness match elite that just started not feeding at all. I have tried my reloads and factory white box ammo. It strips the round from the magazine then proceeds to get about half way into battery and stops. I can't push the slide forward either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hi-Power Jack Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 So many possibilities: Clean and lube the gun change the mag springs try another mag? etc etc etc Try one after the other - one will be your problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
93notch Posted April 27, 2015 Author Share Posted April 27, 2015 I tried 3 different mags. Cleaned the gun still not going. It seems like something is not moving out of the way. One of the USPSA guys that was helping me said something like the ejector was not moving I think. I could be wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfinney Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Have you cleaned the ejector and slot it rides in? Sometimes they get gummed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
93notch Posted April 27, 2015 Author Share Posted April 27, 2015 I have not done that part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJM Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Is it doing this? http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=213259 WJM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
93notch Posted April 27, 2015 Author Share Posted April 27, 2015 Yes that is what it is doing but it is doing it on every round not the last one only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJM Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 (edited) Read further down the post, I had the same issue as you. I had to remove my extractor and polish it out. Thought that the problem was solved, had it happen once more and now I am just going to buy a new extractor and hopefully that fixes it.

93notch Posted April 27, 2015 Author Share Posted April 27, 2015 I will have to figure out how to take it down that far. haven't had it that far down before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJM Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 There is a pin on the top of your slide that you can push out, once that is out the extractor and extractor spring come out. This also could be a length issue, what is your OAL on your rounds? WJM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
93notch Posted April 27, 2015 Author Share Posted April 27, 2015 I tried my reloads that I don't hand the oal with me on but also on factory white box ammo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
