case ejected to breech face, 9major jam

[highhope]

9major mid open gun. Get jam occasionally because of case be ejected to the breech face. What kind of ejector interface shape could help eject the case to the right? Tested the extractor tension, looks good. Using 8lb ismi recoil spring, (tested 7-9 , same issue) . reddot is dpp, one side mount. Thanks a lot!

What scope and mount are you running

Brazos ejector cured mine. Do make sure you have enough extractor tension though. A well shaped extractor to allow feeding of the next round, but strong enough tension so the next round in the mag does not dislodge it before it hits the ejector.

 

With just a bare slide, a round inserted under the extractor, it takes a healthy thump to dislodge the case.

This is what I do to tune the ejector. 

 

Start off with a new EGW extended ejector (or any extended ejector). Make sure you relieve the bottom of the ejector so a round in the mag and/or the mag does not contact ejector.  I usually use a dremel with a round sanding drum to clearance this.

 

Then I cut/file a 10 degree cut on the ejector face.  With the longest part at the top. So the top of the ejector contacts the case. Then I hand cycle some dummy rounds. Paying attention to ejection group and angle. 

 

After this I the cut/file another 10 degree cut from the top of the ejector face. Moving the contact point down about 1/3 of the way. Then repeat hand cycling, noting the pattern. 

 

Then cut/file down the ejector face down so the contact point is 2/3 of the way down. The hand cycle again! 

 

I will go back and cut the profile that gave me the best/most constant ejection! 

 

You can also do this at the range with live rounds to see what works the best for that gun. 

 

Only remove what is necessary so you don't shorten the ejector too much. And also pay attention to if the ejector is to long and won't properly eject a live round!

 

This has worked well for me on many guns that I have built. And it seems like every gun has a slightly different sweet spot!

^^^^ this is pretty much the Brazos ejector as it comes!

I had a problem like that 12 years ago with my TruBor -

it turned out the mag was causing the problem.

 

Check to see if the problem occurs with all of your mags

or just one of them.

Check for small burs on the slide as well..could be slide stop, could be safties, or as others said magazines...there are several possible culprits...is the gun a plastic or metal grip?

Brazos site will tell you how to tune ejector

[Broncman]

True... But I got tired of fooling with it. I wanted to shoot matches! It has worked great and the length is different from my other two 9mm ejectors. It is longer.

 

Now if I can fix the nut behind the trigger, the gun has been doing it's part shooting 9 Major.

That's why we're all here - to try to fix the nut

Thanks, I am using DPP and one side mount.

Thanks a lot, , will try this method.

Check to see if the problem occurs with all of your mags

or just one of them.     

All of them, not just one mag, thank you sir!
