| I have a Springfield 1911A1 GI that is having issues. Its got between 650 and 800 rounds through it, 400 of those were shot durring a training course I took about a year ago. It has ejector issues. I noticed that it would spit cased all over the place, back and to the right (normal), to the right (still normal), directly to my 6 (over my head), straight up (kissing the slide when it comes back down), to my 12 and even to my left. More or less, all over the place. Any idea whats could be going on? It used to eject either to my right or my right rear so no big deal. Its been irratic like this for about 6 months and Im begining to think I may need to replace the ejector. Any thoughts? |

It has nothing to do with ejector. I would first check the firing pin stop to extractor fit. If the extractor rotates ("clocks") due to a loose firing pin stop, it will cause erratic ejection. If the firing pin stop is tight, then check for proper extractor tension.
Check the fps first, then the extractor. |

Doesn't take much to make a difference, try to educate yourself before you go bending it or you will end up chasing your tail |
