I just received a new mil spec from Springfield and I noticed larger than normal space between the ejector and the slide. (not a very good fit at all) This is going to be a custom build and I have never had to replace the ejector before. QUESTION. does anyone know of an oversized ejector that will help fill this gap.

thanks

Depends on what is cut too big or too small....could be the race wya is too big. Could be the ejector is too small. Big help I know :roll:

Dane, thanks for the post. I measured the ejector and it is the same size as my other mil-spec. I think it is the raceway on the slide. Do you know of anyone that makes an over size ejector. I believe that this would be an easier fix, or should I send it back to springfield.
Your suggestions are appreciated.

My suggestion is call Springfield's customer service.

This is a problem you have to live with. I have seen variations not only in Springfields, but Colts also. I have seen it in after market slides.
I have one I am currently doing that is the same way and I have checked 3 Slides and they are all the same.
Maybe it is a Monday or Friday Pistol.

Thanks Richard and Dane. I am too picky I guess. This is a slight iritation that I will try to work out with Springfield or sell the pistol. I appreciate your replies.

I had the same issue arise on a Colt. Just as was said, you just have to live with it. The cost of fixing it is defiately not worth the ever so slight cosmetic benefit.

I was going to make the gun hard chrome. Which would make the black space JUMP out at you. What I did instead was a TR Gunkote lower in black (as well as the ejector, extractor, firing pin stop) and did the slide in hard chrome. I actually fell in love with this bi-tone configuration when I picked up a Colt CCO. In my humble opinion, it is more appealing than black over silver.

For future reference, SVI makes caliber-specific ejectors. It might be that you could buy a different size and file it down to fit the SA gap.
