Ejector Tension

[prepare]

I haven't seen any Armorers use anything like that.

Armorers? They just see if it flicks the case a few feet.

I have always taken a EMPTY cartridge and done the "Flick Test" .

Mine usually fly 6 to 7 ft. because I use a Sprinco Ejector and Extractor spring, between those 2 she will get a cartridge out of the rig.

Or tare the damn extraction grove off the cartridge under the extractor. 😁

And that's all the ejector needs to do.

Using a trigger pull gauge on an ejector is classic overthinking.

Except that the gauge tells you how soon the spring is going to be out of spec. Numbers don't lie, and are much more concrete than "good 'nuf."

What kind of gauge do you use?

What kind of gauge do you use?

Same one as you.

What is that supposed to mean?

As I'm merely an enthusiast and neither an armorer, nor a 'smith, I don't own a gauge; just like you.

The local smith close to me basically goes by feel and flicking a empty case. He is the go to dude around home. About all he works on is AR's and AK's that is his thing.

Also I enjoy your posts, you ask alot of tech questions and I really enjoy reading the answers.

Thanks.
