Did you clean it first? What brand of ammo?

Federal 230 gr yes it was clean first

I have a bone stock G36 Gen3 that I've carried every day for the last 3 years. Shoot it once a week; probably 12K rounds at this point. I've had a couple of failures to eject but I think that's been due to out of spec reloads.

I can only advise to follow Glock's lube instructions exactly. Run it almost dry with NO lube in the striker channel. If you're still having problems call Glock.

Sorry for your problems and good luck. I like mine.

It's not that I don't like the gun it's great in the hand I just want it to work right so I can carry it

The G36 is very unforgiving of a limp wrist.
(ask me how I know this )

Go here:

and pick up a recoil calibration pack (Stock No. 30492) for you/your shooting style.

Shot 100 rounds though it and it failed to eject a lot.

By far the most common cause of FTEs on small guns like this is limp-wristing.

Let a buddy or range master that is familiar with Glocks give it a go. I'm also on the limp wristing side. Make sure you lock your wrists and forearms - light poly pistols need a firm base to properly function off of. Once you figure it out most of them work just fine.

If your not doing so now - use the Glock grip - or thumbs forward grip:

Good Article on different grips.

This forum has some good instructional stickies on grip, stance, draw, and reload: http://glock.pro/training-tactics/index2.html

Glock has a university:

Lastly - you might look into a rubber slip on grip or one of those stick on grips. It could be the pistol is slipping around in your hands.

Yep, check the wrist.
I have had a 36 for five years. Cases of ammo through it and much of that was Russian steel cased cheap stuff. It has NEVER failed to fire and to eject.

As previously stated, its a limp wristing issue. Hold that little beast tight.
