I bought a used Star M-43 Firestar. Liked it a lot until I fired it. It fails to extract and/or eject every 2 or 3 rounds. Either the fired case will remain in the chamber or in the extractor. I don't see a problem with the extractor, but I am not familiar with Star. The ejector is loose. It appears to be mounted to the frame witn one pin and is rocking on the pin, however this doesn't appear to be the problem because it rides in a slot in the frame which probably keeps it from rocking. Could it be too short?
I cleaned behind the extractor and the chamber is clean and dry. I'm stumped. I really think I would like this chunk of steel if it were reliable.
Any ideas??
