I have one of these, and the ejected cases are hitting the receiver just behind the ejection port. Is there anything I can do about this?
Thanks, Peter.


Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright, that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong;

Sig 556... very nice.

Anything with an ejector and extractor can be altered somewhat to change the departure angle of the fired case.

If it is marring the side of the receiver, etc., take a small patch of velcro and place where impact takes place. On 15/16's this also helps reduce the distance the spent casing "flies" upon ejecting. Sort of softens the blow so to speak.
