9mm woes....

[Dave.O]

Mine seems to be tracking through the bolt in the right area. could the ejector be on the short side.?

[Madsmiley]

This is seeming like a fairly common problem then..Wonder just how many others are experencing the same thing...

Im gonna have to take a good close look at mine now and see what I can come up with..I may end up sacrificing my ejector for the common good and see if I can come up with a workable fix for everyone..

[Dave.O]

Ok. Here is an update. I did a little tweaking on my ejector, a little up and in towards the bolt, not making any contact with the bolt what so ever. I then proceced to run 3 different C-Products mags through the gun using WWB, on this test everything ran like a champ. I switched over to Blazer aluminium, and wow.. train wreck after train wreck... this thing would not run at all.. Note to self, don't run aluminum!!!! Looks like a little tune-up and everything is going in the right direction.

I also have an update.. Switched over to Win 147gr and things improved alot.Out of 250rds there were probably only 5 or the prior issues..Still to many, but Im at least on the right track..Will try adjusting the extractor and see if that takes care of the rest of it next week..Hell of a fun toy when its runnning half way decent

I have a question for you guys that are having the problem with the "case bouncing around inside the reciever", are you all running a Hahn (dedicated) mag block?

I just had a dedicated Hahn block installed in my carbine and now my gun wont run at all. I am having the same ejection problem as described above. I had a look at the ejector location in relation to the bolt through the ejection port and the ejector seems like it's not up high enough or close enough to the bottom of the bolt groove that it rides in. When I turn the gun upside down and view the ejector/bolt through the mag well the ejector is riding the outer edge of the bolt groove. I think it might work better if it was riding on the inner edge of the groove, i.e. closer to the centerline of the bolt.

I'm just looking for input from any of you guys that have this issue or have worked around the problem somehow. I really want to keep the Hahn block because it has the bolt hold open feature, but I am real close to reinstalling my top-load ASA mag block that I know works. Thanks.

For the fellas that are having issues, have you tried Colt mags?

[SuicideHz]

I use modified UZI mags and I have one 20 round Colt mag.

I have had problems with all three.

I have been told by "Colt guys" (I'm not sure what they're real accreditations are) that the ejector can and should run right up alongside the bolt and it's 100% acceptable for them to rub and wear in together.

So, for any of us who have an ejector that is not touching the bolt, this is most likely the problem- the reason I stated it in the first place.

I am not running colt mags, as they are hard to find. My problems have seem to gone away, after a slight adjustment to the ejector on my RRA block, and as long as I use brass cases ammo. I am now using 5 different C-Products mags and so far so good..

[Madsmiley]

I havent been able to come up with any Colt mags either so its only been C-Products in mine..Ran 200 rds thru it today with only a sigle malfunction..This was more than likely due to loading the mag to max capacity that one time.....One thing I did different today was to run it extremly wet with lube..Cant say if this had any real bearing of if things are just begining to break in properly.

i had the same problem with my pistol. it was the hahn block. it was replaced with a rra block and it runs like a sewing machine.
