My MKE was flakey for the first 200 rounds or so (by my recollection). I was all freaked out, researching, swapping mags, ordering springs, etc....then it just started working perfectly. I shoot mine 1-200 rounds a month and I don't even clean it much anymore (nasty thing). Give it a bit to smooth out.
Let those who are fond of blaming and finding fault, while they sit safely at home, ask, ‘Why did you not do thus and so?’I wish they were on this voyage; I well believe that another voyage of a different kind awaits them.”

Now over four thousand rounds in I started having ejection issues. I swapped in an HK Mp5 spring and it actually increased the failures to eject. (typically the spent case jammed at the top of the bolt. I swapped in a new factory MKE ejector (super easy swap) and the issue disappeared entirely. I just ran 100 Magtech Subsonics and 100 WWB and the issues are gone (and it was jamming 2-3 times per mag (HK)). Just a little update for y'all.

Thanks for the update. Where’d you get the MKE ejector?
Arms of America sells a boo-boo kit that has ejector/extractor/springs/firing pin for $35. Well worth it. I had one in my emergency stash

It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.

Apex has the kits for $39.https://www.apexgunparts.com/mp5-ap5...s-set-new.html Not too bad. MGW wants one million dollars for the same kit...I guess they are going full "cheaper than dirt."

They work. It’s just that I swapped the spring first thinking that was my issue. Once I swapped to the German spring the failures to eject actually got waaay worse. Then I swapped out the ejector (but left in German spring)—after doing this all my problems vanished. I was just swapping one at a time. It still had the original silver spring in it when I swapped to the copper German spring. There is some chance that I swapped the spring needlessly but I had been meaning to swap over to the copper spring anyway.
