[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Mark 3 failures to eject

Posted: 10/9/2016 1:24:31 PM EDT

In 2 range trips I've had multiple failures to eject. Ammo was UMC and WWB 115 grain. 4 different magazines. Any ideas? My Standard ran just fine.

I would remove the extractor, check for a damaged hook, clean the channel and extractor and think about replacing the spring while you have it apart. Also take a close look at the ejector to see if it has chipped. Oh and scrubbing the chamber well may help.

Thank you for the advice, I'll have my gunsmith look into all those things. Gives him a place to start.

Replace the extractor pin, too. That was the root cause for FTEs on two different HPs for me.

Thank you as well, I'll build the list of possible causes.
