Title: Ejectile Dysfunction

Has anyone tried running no ejector? I am running the RGG style sheet metal ejector, which seems to often funnel the shells up into the magazine base and cause stoppages. I did a bit of testing with empty shells with no ejector, and they all seem to drop out cleanly.


 


I have some nice slow motion videos I would like to share, but I get an error saying that I can\'t upload that file type (mp4). The videos are 11-13 MB, so they are under the size limit.

I don\'t have any ejectors on either of my gat\'s. and they work fine without it. On the .357 gat, we went with a small pin pressed into the bottom of the pan that sticks up a little enough to catch the rim of a cartridge. The down side to that is you need to mill a long slot on the bottom of each bolt to clear it. I think that the .357 would eject without it also just as soon as the brass clears the chamber.

Just a follow up to this, the gun ran great with no ejector.
