All of my AR's do this same thing, 90% of the brass is at 2:00, the rest at 4:00. I have no idea why but it has never bothered me.

Extractor loses grip of the spent case too early and it fails to hit the brass deflector... |

I thought this was going to be a thread about nocturnal emmisions, and was going to suggest the general forum.
Reliably at 4:00 for me, though. |

All mine throw at 2 O'clock consistantly. Try using an o-ring under your extracter see if that has an effect one way or the other.

A friend of mine built his own AR and it ejects at 2:00 with LC, but Wolf it kick them out at 4:00? Maybe it has to do with the higher pressure ammo?

Hmm... I always seem to find the brass at 5 o'clock, approx 6-8 feet away and fairly even with where I am standing.

+1 The only time brass went to 2 o'clock was when I trimmed a couple of coils off the ejector spring. It tossed my brass in front of the firing line, making me wait until brass call, so a new, std length spring went back on. |

I had a salty Marine ask my where my brass went right before the first match. I pointed at the ground just across the line at my 2 o'clock and he said "good, then we won't have any problems." I don't mind waiting a wee bit until brass call. I don't need my ass kicked by a retiree. |

The story is in the Washingon Forum, go there if you are interested. I'll miss him terribly. But getting back to the ejection. If you're ejecting at 2:00 you are getting a bit of overfunction. Brass should be landing between 4:00 & 5:00. |

I have had brass eject in different directions depending on the type of ammo and what gun.

Once again, Armalite's Tech Notes to the rescue.
Read all about it here: www.armalite.com/library/techNotes/tnote34.htm Though this is written about the AR-10, it applies equally to the AR-15. Hats off to Mark Westrom for publishing these. |

thanks for the replys..... I want to try some wolf somtime just to see how it functions, since its a lower velosity ammo maybe it will eject back more in my rifle.

Well, the guy's a prick then. Everyone knows ARs spit their brass to 4 - 5 o'clock. That's why everyone wears long pants. I like being able to pick up my brass when I'm done shooting. I shoot pretty fast in slow fire, and with my brass going to 4 o'clock, I can pick it back up after I'm done in offhand without bothering anyone. When I shoot slow prone, I set my stool up as a case deflector and open the front flap, so that virtually all the cases end up in it. The few that bounce out fall right by my right elbow. |

The standard HP mod to make your brass land at 2 is to trim your ejector spring. Depending on the spring, I'll trim between 1.5 and five coils.
