Update!

Got an ejector from Springfield Sporters today. Compared it to my original and it was larger in every external dimension. Either mine was worn out, produced sloppily, or whatever, but the difference in dimensions was striking.

I installed it and my A3 will now kick brass all the way across my shop no matter how pressure is applied to the bolt. This is how I knew it should work.

Thanks for all your help.

By the way, this is my first time using Springfield Sporters but it will not be the last--good prices, nice looking parts, quick shipping. Looks like a good company!
