| Does anyone know where I can find Wolff upgraded ejector springs? Not the extractor spring but the ejector. I was recommended to get the 20% ejector spring for my rifle but I cant find them anywhere at all. Any other solutions to upgrade the ejector? |
| As an option, Tactical Springs (Sprinco USA) offers enhanced ejector springs. |
| I checked Wolff Gunsprings website, and they do not list an ejector spring separately. They do however list an ejector spring in their Rifle Service Paks having "factory specification strength." |

Why do you want a stronger ejector spring? Who/Why 'recommended' this? If you're having ejection issues I'd find the cause instead of a bandaid fix. Most people that mess with the ejector strength reduce it, not increase it. I'm running an ACR and it was someone that's involved with the Remington ACR. He said the orginal design doesn't eject brass at the propper angle and my mods may have magnified it. He said that they fixed it with a new brass deflector and a wolff 20% ejector spring. Right now I'm getting stove pipes, usually on the second to last round every couple of mags. I have a shortend barrel, lightend bolt and opened up gas port. |

Hi PFC_Dustin, Remove the ejector from your bolt. Once you have it out, look at it closely under magnification for any small burrs or mushrooming on the ends. Hit it with some emery cloth to make sure that it is snag free and nice and slick. Also, while the ejector is out, look for any little brass shavings in and around the ejector hole, and clean the opening very well. While you are at it you can very slightly polish/chamfer the opening of the ejector hole. Replace your ejector spring with a new one, and replace your extractor spring with an extra-power Wolf unit. Thoroughly clean and polish the chamber, and I mean really get in there and do it right! Last but not least, make sure the gas block is good and tight.
After doing those things I think you will be happy with the results  .

Aren't the tolerances pretty specific in there? How should I go about doing that? |
