alright sorry it took so long for an update. I posted very similar public service announcements on several other forums which I am also a member at and within hours had received an email from Rich at SIA, very irate and accusing me of slander . he offered no excuse as to why my order ahd not shipped two months ago as he had promised and he claimed that he had planned on offering me a free upgraded ejector with my kit to make up for the long wait but since I was in such a hurry(apparently 6 months was an unrealistic expectation) he would ship it without the upgrade part immediately. I received the kit 4 days following the posting of this thread and during installation I broke the ejector that was not upgraded.

needless to say I will never deal with Special Interest Arms ever again nor am I going to contact them to try and get the part replaced... it'll probably just take another 6 months to make. I am going to have a good friend of mine who is very skilled at gunsmithing and machining see if he can make a suitable replacement.
