.223 FTF Now FTE!
« on: January 23, 2013, 09:48:38 AM »
i've posted before about this barrel and FTF. it was suggested to try differrent ammo. i finally got to the range yesterday. Three shots all fired first try, but all failed to eject. in fact after tapping out the case with a cleaning rod the ejector is still stuck. lubed with clp got it freed up and next shot it stuck again. put the 357 barrel on this frame, no problems. .45-70 the barrel it came with, no problems. Can the ejector to extractor mod be done with common tools. or do i need a machine shop?

Complete instructions for ejector to extractor conversions are in the FAQs, as are info on tuning the ejector to work better and chamber polishing.  ;)
