Back in January, I started a SBR build. This is the fourth AR I have built. I used the following parts:

RRA 10.5 1/7 barrel
Spikes stripped lower
RRA LPK w/ NM 2 Stage trigger
Standard Mil Spec Buffer tube, spring, and buffer
Spikes Micro gas block and gas tube (carbine length)
MOE furniture
YHM Diamond spectre length rail
Wolff ejector spring w/ o ring.

I started off having a problem with short stroking, which was solved by way of an adjustable gas block and an H3 buffer.  Now my gun cycles great, but I  have noticed that the ejection is very light, and varies from 2 o'clock to 4 o'clock.  The brass only travels about 6 inches from the ejection port, then drops to the ground.  

Is this something to worry about, or is it ok?  What would be the best way to fix it?

If you have a crane o ring installed for extraction, remove it and see if this corrects the issue.
