Stag H2 , basic Stag 16" kit gun
Ultra-Max factory ammo It ejects the rounds about 2 o'clock. The brass get dinged by the deflector that leaves a mark about 3/4" from the base. I believe the forward ejection is caused by a riccochet off the deflector. I don't mind the forward ejection but I don't like the ding in the case. I tried padding the deflector with velcro, but the dust cover is too close to be able to get the pad right. The gun is very new. I was wondering if the extractor needed some time to break in so it would release the case sooner or would a 9mm buffer slow the BCG timing to solve the dang ding issue. Or do I break out the DREMEL and kiss the dust cover just a little. I don't think medication or therapy could make me ignore the ding, so any suggestions would be appreciated. Hugh |

Here is the deal.. You need a different (lighter) buffer. This is more of a prob with .308 because the brass hitting the deflector will wear away the anodizing rather quickly sometimes.
Looking down the gun is 12 o'clock Behind you is 6 o'clock Lighter = towards 12 o'clock Heavier = towards 6 o'clock 3 o'clock = Awesome! 
Tadah! ETA: I should also mention different weight ammo will produce varying results w/ regard to case deflection. If you typically use one type of ammo with this rifle you could "tune" it to preform in a more constant manner. Also different buffer spring strength, extractor springs/O-ring. Hopefully this is just giving you a different way to look at things. |

Isn't that 'why' we added the deflector? The people that added the deflector don't reload. Perhaps the poster does. Note he did not complain about damage to the deflector, only the case. Ejector springs are cheap. You might try grinding it slightly to adjust the tension. Or try a different bumper under the extractor to tune when it releases the case. |

You're right, they don't reload. Arms_Reach - good information. Thanks |
