I've never changed one in my life. I suppose anything can wear out eventually though.

WHEW!
I was starting to wonder about you. ;) When I have been drinking my ability to comprehend written sarcasm dropps to just above 0.
I never even thought about the implication of the statement until one kid looked at me sideways with a big sh*t eating grin. I still chuckle when I think about it.
Usually I would see cracking on the bolts on our M4s in my unit before I would ever see an ejector failure.
That being said, I had a nasty malfunction with my LMT about a year ago with PRVI M193. A brass chip which presumably the extractor had cut out of the rim somehow got stuck in the ejector channel and jammed the ejector "in" the bolt. What a nightmare that was to fix. Basically it involved a brass punch, a ton of lube, and my vise to clear out the brass chip. :eek: Funny thing is I NEVER saw anything like that in the Army when shooting Lake City ammo or Black Hills ammo.
