Gunsmithing Ejection problem

[Kyskeet]

Equipment: M700 SA 6.5 Creedmoor, extractor changed to M16 style, ejector unchanged, EGW 20 MOA rail, Spuhr mount 34mm. Now for what's happening, as the brass is ejected it hits this clamping bar of the Spuhr mount and falls back into the receiver. What are your thoughts. I thought if I could raise the mount up relative to the receiver, brass might clear the clamping bar of the mount . Does anybody make a taller pic rail to achieve this. Looks like the altering of the ejector to a m16 may have the brass getting a more vertical path out of the receiver.

Go to the LRI website and see what Chad does to fix this problem. It might be what you need

I would trim the ejector spring down to somewhere in the 0.88" - 0.92" range to soften the fling before spending the money on the LRI dual ejector mod. Springs are cheap. If is does not work or you screw the pooch by cutting it too short then your out an entire $1.25.

About half of my Remingtons have shorter springs than they came with.

I agree with Antithesis that it might be a cheap fix.

There is a slight modification you can make to the extractor claw to change the angle at which the case is thrown to avoid hitting the mount or scope.

If you're lucky, a regulation spring will throw your brass onto the shooter next to you and screw up his shot. As far as I know, that is the only reason to have a "full power" ejector spring. I lighten mine so I don't have to mount an expedition, hire indigenous bearers, and bribe their union in order to find my brass.

good to know

I found a picture of the extractor modification which changes the ejection angle

Longrifles inc. has an option to add another ejector on their site to fix this.

What ShtrRdy said will definitely help with your problem.

This is why the mini-16 was designed.

They make pills for that...

Yeah they don't tell you that part when you pay for it.
