38super Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 I'd grind and file, just so you learn what ejector length and face angle do. Make sure you can eject a loaded round. Order two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyomingballer Posted June 7, 2018 Author Share Posted June 7, 2018 http://www.brazoscustom.com/magart/ejection%20perfection.htmFollowed this and tested about 50 rounds and seems to work well!Thanks again everyone!Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamelco Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 I have a Sti Matchmaster very similar with the trubor. Had same problem. Aftec help but still have like 3 out of 8 stages. Got the Brozos pre tuned ejector and kept the aftec. Worked perfect. It ejects at the right angle not hitting the CMore. I agree this will help.

wyomingballer Posted June 14, 2018 Author Share Posted June 14, 2018 Well 90 deg mount nextSent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broncman Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Did you actually get the Brazos or just file yours? The Brazos is longer than most. I would try that before 90 degree mount. I got the Brazos and an offset mount like a Cheelie. No more issues. Unfortunately I installed both at same time. So I have no idea which fixed it. I really did not want to to do the 90 degree ones.

Broncman Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Can you measure the length? I will let you know the Brazos length. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyomingballer Posted June 14, 2018 Author Share Posted June 14, 2018 Yes that would be great!Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bkreutz Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Like I said before, I screwed around with the standard mount for about a month trying to get reliable ejection, gave up, went to a 90 mount and ~50k rounds later, no failures. It may not be a symmetrical look, but to me, performance trumps looks every time. (another advantage is less parallax error with the lower mounted glass) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broncman Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 My Brazos measures .320 from tip of ejector to the edge at the mag tunnel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ltdmstr Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Brazos method for extractor tuning is not necessarily the best way to go. And the AFTEC is not designed to be set up that way. The AFTEC comes with detailed instructions on how to fit and tune it and if you modified it per Brazos, it's probably not going to work. In addition to extractor tuning, you probably also need to tune (or replace) your ejector. That needs to be set up properly for length, impact point on the case, and relieved so the cases roll off to the side vs. up and into the mount.

The brass is turning backwards and not ejecting. The weird part is that this only happens after cleaning... 3-4 jams in the first 50 rounds. After that no issues at all. This happens with a standard extractor and with the aftec... Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk Two things can be done to fix this. Tune the ejector and or Lower the ejection port. Tuning the ejector is they way to go, lowering the ejection port can compromise the slide and cause a crack earlier then expected. If it’s a minor gun lower it.

alsipd Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 I had the same problems with my 9mm open gun when it was new. I tuned the ejector and all of the problems went away. I used my Limited gun as a guide. I forgot that I had to tune the extractor too. It would not hold the case in place.

jcc7x7 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Go 90 mount or I went with a off set because I couldn't get used to the 90 and it functions great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kema Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Isn't this actually a timing issue? I don't see any marks on scope mount. If you shoot with minor ammo, is there any issues? If not and these only happen with major ammo, timing might be of. I had similar issue on my matchmaster and it was fixed by professional gunsmith. I tried everything on my own without solving issues with matchmaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
