    Might want to see if you have the latest style Ejector in the bolt.
    But before changing anything read on:

    One of my shooters ejects straight back looking for my forehead, as it gums up it looks for my neck. I Can't recall which carbine that one is but it's marked on one of the carbine range cases. While trying to duck brass one day another ole timer getting a kick out of watching me squirm asked if I had a mosquito head net. I smiled and said say no more. It was a Light Bulb moment Now also written on that range case is Mosquito head net. I probably had half a dozen tucked away in the boats and tackle boxes for our notorious black flies, no see ums and deer flies. Honestly they work great to deflect killer brass. Just never gave one a thought for use at the range instead of playing rope a dope.

    Thx for sharing your Great day.... Valentines.. and to have the Daughter out there. Makes memories, time goes by too fast. Plus You Can't beat young eyes looking for treasured brass. Maybe some pictures of her shooting next time? You know, before she's borrowing the keys for the car

    Cheers
