rpm8300 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Hey all - any recommendations for an ejector that comes loose? The rear part of the ejector comes just a little bit up out of the frame after use. Its pinned in and to get it to work right, I had to file al little off of the top and side of the ejector. Ive read about people that have used glue but what Im thinking is buying a new ejector that is oversize for both attachment legs and sanding it down just right. If anyone can recommend one thatd be great. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjones6686 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Maybe use loctite on the legs before you put them in the holes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerBaron Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Bend the legs inward towards each other a little. That should tighten the fit. Loctite is possibly not the best option. With the legs bent a little it should fit in tight. The pin should fit tightly too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyler2you Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 You'll get the tightest fit by making sure the pin is snug in the notch you cut in the front leg of the ejector. It takes some time, but I've found the best way to fit one is to use a sharpie to cover the front leg, then insert the ejector and twist the pin around in the hole until you can see where to file. Use a needle file to cut the notch and sneak up on a tight fit little by little. If you do it right, the ejector won't be loose even without Loctite. I like the EGW XL Ejector.

ParaGunner Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Try a new pin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpm8300 Posted August 31, 2016 Author Share Posted August 31, 2016 Thanks for the advice fellas - when I get time Im going to use the EGW XL and I assume the pin that comes with it is over sized. as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shmella Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Had this issue once and bought a new pin and the reverse thread drill bit from dawson. Not sure if the drill bit fixed it or the new pin but I ran the drill bit through (even though it was already drilled) and popped the new pin in and viola problem solved.

scooterj Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 If you want to eliminate a lot of the tuning of the extractor, CK Arms and Brazos both offer "Pretuned" extractors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpm8300 Posted September 2, 2016 Author Share Posted September 2, 2016 Here is a crazy one, that is related but different. I was just at Area 8 and had malfunctions for 4 stages with my Trubor 9mm open gun. Turns out the ejector cross pin had come out a little and was rubbing against the slide. That is ALSO a new one - aside from ruining my match. I think I can use a little glue to secure the pin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
