Lone Eagle help
My Lone Eagle in 308 failed to eject 3/4 of the shells I shot yesterday.
I am sure this is not due to the chamber being dirty.
However the shells I was shooting were military surplus which I have had 15+ years. They are far from shiney and bright.
When I first purchased the military shells I shot 50 or more without problems but as mentioned that was a few years ago.
Where do I look for the problem?? I feel the ejector is not "kicking" every time the breech is opened

Thanks

MRI had an update to their owners manual concerning this problem, and properly adjusting the ejector. My .358 did the same thing for a while (broke a good Leatherman blade because of it). I don't have the supplement anymore as I shipped with the gun when I sold it but maybe MRI would send you one. After awhile mine seemed to work better, just needed to be broke in I guess. But, I would contact MRI. Sean

Does anyone have a copy of this supplement?
I phoned MRI today and their tech support knew nothing of it.
They suggested polishing the chamber and proper adjustment of the ejector.
I was told the adjustment was best done at the factory
