MG34 ejector issue
Has anyone seen this before? ejector? booster cone? I just replaced my 9.5mm with a new 11mm and fixed the feed jamming issue, now I have this problem. Here is a pic, a spent case turned around and fed back into chamber and a new round fed in a same time.

Re: MG34 ejector issue
a couple of maybes:
Not enough recoil to eject the empty from the bolt path,
A common occurrence before it was figured out - the shell bounced down and then back up. That's why the newer lafettes had a deflector plate.

Re: MG34 ejector issue
Thanks, I have a 9mm booster cone and a new 11mm. I was using the 11mm. I will drill out the 9mm to 10mm and I have also installed a new (TNW) ejector. I hope I have to ground too much off the back for clearance. I use a dummy round and chamber it then manually cock the bolt to get the ejector action. It seems to work. Will have to try the range again soon. It's getting close.

Re: MG34 ejector issue
I installed a 10mm booster cone and get the same empty case jam. I also replaced the ejector pin with one from TNW. I may have taken too much material off the ejector pin when fitting it. Does anyone have a picture of the proper fit of a ejector pin with a cartridge seated in the bolt face?
Thanks, CT

Figured it out, thanks.
Re: MG34 ejector issue
Old thread I know,
But my TNW semi is having the same malfunction. Haven't measured the booster cone yet but, I am curious as to how you fit your ejector.
