My brass seems to fly forward at 45º or so. How can I make them eject at a nice 90º staight into my brass catcher? My ejector spring has the o-ring btw.

but beware, you may cause more problems than its worth if all you want to do is get your brass in your catch bag.  generally, if the gun ejects and functions fine, leave it alone.

I run a heavy extractor spring with the "Black" bumper on a Full auto carrier and a "H" Buffer on all my M4's. The guns eject at 3 oclock or 90 degrees with full power M193 ammo and the guns have very little felt recoil.
I find the O ring gives too much extractor tension. Just keep up with Extractor spring changes. I have even seen Brass "Smearing" on the front of the bolt and Extractor caused by the O Ring.
The O ring gives extra tension for when the spring gets tired. Good if your going long streches between maintenice intervals.

Would you suggest shooting a few rounds without the o-ring?
