| I was at the range the other day and my recently built 6.8 ar was having major ejection issues. The rounds were stuck on the bolt as they were gripped very tightly by the extractor. I had to pry the fired case of the bolt. It appears that I have some kind of issue with the ejector but was not sure exactly what would cause this? Any ideas |

Extractor in hand, check for burs on the edge of the grabbing claws, and then the side of the case rim relief channel a well Also with the extractor in the bolt, make sure that the bottom of the relief channels is flush with the inner bolt face channel, and not below it causing the rim to be pinched.
Next cam a spent shell of the extractor in the bolt, and press the ejector in and out a few times to check for binding and to confirm that you have strong spring tension. If the ejector cross pin was not correctly installed through the ejector slot for it, it will bind the ejector in the bolt. |
| Best thing to do is take it apart and clean it completly as to inspect the parts and see if you have any burrs or even junk under the springs as so it dosent let it compress to let go of the shell and or burs on the extractor claw.You didnt say if you have had the gun for a while or is it new to you and the problem was from the start... I have had issues with peps installing a extra duty spring and also installing D ring on the extractor where it excerts to much pressurre on the shell and dosent relase... I use a stock spring and a defender d ring and never had any problems.... Frist step take it apart and clean. second step inspect and replace any part which is at fault also check your Ejector pin spring and pin for burs or brass causing it to stop/// |
