Perhaps the Inland had an ejector spring change at one time for a stronger spring...? And as for Promag, I still find them a crapshoot. Not as bad as they used to be though. Some guys have no problems...

How about bolt speed? Would it have the same effect with the Carbine as it does with the Garand?

As for the direction ejection which type of slides do you have on them? The later type v and vi slides were curved to push the spent cases to the right more.

For mags, I only use USGI 15s or USGI 30s. Commercial mags are, as stated before, a cr@pshoot.
Ejection is , as was said, controlled by several things:
-Bolt Speed :weight of bolt )flat vs round) dwell time of bolt (caused by early vs late slide), power of load, or condition of recoil spring.
-ejector spring strength
-ejector shape (Old, versus new)
-Extractor condition
-extractor spring strength
Generally I have found late slides (type V or VI) need a late ejector because of increased dwell time before bolt opens.
Also make sure your recoil springs are not degrade. They should measure 10 1/8" to 10 1/4", if they are less than 10", they need replaced. If you shoot Aguila ammo, it is underpowered and needs a weak recoil spring to be reliable. I have one 9 7/8" spring that I kept in case I get Aguila. Enjoy you carbines.
With that said, though, it sounds like they are running great, so I would not change anything in either. I would soak the gas piston on the one with the gooey carbon with brake cleaner , blow it out with air, then soak with Kroil or Liquid wrench, blow it out, then flush residue out with acetone and blow out again.

Both have new recoil springs, and the Underwood new bolt springs. The Underwood has a Type III slide (F in a heart), the Inland a Tye II. Both have the late style ejector. I guess my question is where do most of the Carbines throw the brass ahead or behind?

It's been my observation that flat bolts most always toss the cases forward to 1:00-2:00 or so and the round bolts tend to eject them rearward to 5:00 - 6:00.

THis is what I have observed also. My 6 digit Inland mix-master has a flat bolt, early ejector, and early slide. It tosses them between 1 and 2 o'clock. The Transitional late 1944 Winchester I sold last spring had a round bolt, late slide and late ejector. If I remember correctly, it tossed them 5:30 TO 6 o'clock, sometimes on top of my head.
