Friend of mine bought a Cetme and had troubles with failure to eject. Tried different ammo, cleaning chamber, etc. Sent gun back and got a replacement. Same problem. Works on a couple rounds, then won't eject. Even had trouble manually extracting a case from the chamber. I think he's about ready to send this one back. Any ideas from your experiences? WKM |
| If it is one of the Century made Cetmes, then expect them to be problematic. Everything from out of spec receivers, to ground bolt heads, incorrect headspace, bent ejectors, worn locking piece and/or locking lever, etc. Your best bet is to jump over to cetmerifles.com. They have pretty good descriptions of what to look for and how to fix it. |

See if your lower is loose. Mine wouldn't eject even if I shot it or tried to manually cycle the action. It ended up being that the front of the lower was dropping down allowing the ejector to ride below the case. Since the ejector wasn't hitting the case that massive extractor the Cetme has was just holding the round to the bolt. Try taking some zip ties to the action to suck the lower and upper tight together. If that fixes the problem then look at you "shelf" that the front of your lower rides on. I had to weld mine up adding filler material. Since then it has been 100%. Omni |

sounds like the ejector is riding to low. you may be able to bend it up.. or like others said make sure the grip frame is seated all the way.. also just over all check it for anything that binds up ect ect. then check the Bolt gap, make sure the rifle is in spec. the SOG spcl. editions are just fancy Century rifles,, nothing more. |

If it is a very early or late version, then it was built on the "cream of the crop"parts kit and worth fixing up. A quick check of the bolt gap will let one know, .010" or > on standard rollers would be a good indication of a nice kit. Make sure that is on a rifle with at least 250 rounds have been fired, the BG will close up .004" or so during break in. Bill |
