Thanks. I found the W.

No such luck. :(

Took both out to shoot today. Shot Tula through both. A few feeding problems at the start of both 30 rounders. Also had some USGI 15's that worked pretty good. The Inland was spitting brass into my forehead (I'm a lefty), so I've order a new ejector and extractor. Hopefully that fixes the problem. I've owned Carbines in the past, and never really liked them. I guess I've matured, as I enjoyed shooting both of these.:thup:

When I first got by Inland I had the same problem with the brass hitting me in the forehead - tends to induce a bit of flinching.:D I was told a later slide would help, but I don't like the look of the later slides - went with just a new ejector, extractor, and both springs. It made a big improvement in ejection and helped accuacy a bunch, too! It wasn't much fun trying to duck everytime I pulled the trigger. I sure like your carbines.:super: -Bob

I ordered the parts and bolt disassembly tool from Numrich. Hopefully that solves the problem. I've got a few slit cuts on my hair line from the cases hitting me.:(
