bfg1971 0 Posted December 26, 2018 Report Share Posted December 26, 2018 My S-12 is having issues with ejecting the spent shell. It extracts with no problem but does not release the shell, usually the bolt recloses causing a double feed but on the last round in the mag the bolt will reclose inserting the spent shell back into the chamber. I've looked over the forums but haven't seen anything like this. It seems most peoples issues are fail to extract. I bought the gun used, and had to drill out the gas ports to get it to run. It was an auto plug to vent excess gas, but even when I closed it all the way (no venting) it still wouldn't release. Even manually yanking the bolt back will not cause the shell to release. Any Ideas? Thanks Bill Quote Link to post Share on other sites
csspecs 1,987 Posted December 26, 2018 Report Share Posted December 26, 2018 if you could post a photo of the malfunction that would likely help Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bfg1971 0 Posted December 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2018 unfortunately Uncle Sam has me away from the gun right now. I remembered the forums and thought I'd drop in to ask the question. A better question might have been is there one part for extraction and another for ejection or does something cause the extractor to release the shell? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
csspecs 1,987 Posted December 26, 2018 Report Share Posted December 26, 2018 It is a typical AK pattern. You have an extractor claw on the bolt, and there is a stationary ejector that is on the receiver cross support (ejector block). So the question is if your bolt is retracting far enough to strip the round from the bolt or if the ejector is damaged. Sometimes people installed rubber buffers that will prevent the action from opening far enough for the bolt to pass the ejector.. Or the trigger pack can come apart enough to prevent the bolt from fully cycling. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bvamp 604 Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 (edited) stand up straight with a stiff shoulder....its a combat shotgun get us a picture straight down looking into the stripped action. im almost wondering if the ejector is flawed. have you tried heavy loads or slugs in it?

evlblkwpnz 3,418 Posted January 5, 2019 Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 +1 Support is key, especially with weak loads or taming the recoil of strong loads. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
