Hi all,
I've had a Springfield Armory Range Officer in 45 ACP for just over two years. I bought it used and I don't shoot it that much. The pistol has been flawless until recently. At around the 1200 rd mark I started getting failures to eject. The case would extract, get held back by the extractor, and yet not get kicked out by the ejector. This has happened with S&B, Federal, and Fiocchi ammunition now (all 230 gr, brass cased, ball ammunition). The ejector looks fine to me, and I've cleaned out the extractor channel (internal extractor) and inspected the extractor. Nothing looks wrong to me visually, but I'm more of a novice when it comes to 1911s.
I like to try to fix things myself to gain some knowledge. Does anyone have some tips on what I can look at?
Thanks,
TR
