I thought the gen 1 would kick shells back in or cause malfunctions on some peoples guns. I've only had the gen 2 so it's all hearsay.

Does the gen 2 have less of a sharp edge on the side facing the bolt? I notice on my gen 1 deflector it's somewhat sharp and shaves brass off the ejected casings, after a few hundred rounds there is a decent amount of brass on the sharp edge.

Yes the gen 2 is angled back and smaller like this:
Edit: Or do you mean the lip to the inside of the ejection port. |

Seemed to be a combination of the CD angle and the alleged tuning of the rifle specifically for .223 spec ammo. When I shot 5.56 in it I would get brass recycled back into the action as the bolt was feeding the next round. |

I bought my ACR in 2011, and it has the Gen 1 brass deflector. I haven't seen any issues with about 2000 rounds through my ACR, so is this an issue that I would've encountered by now if it was going to be a problem or does it occur later on after the brass deflector starts to wear?
