SHOOTIN FOX 340 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 (edited) Having an issue with empties ejecting from a 97 with the Coyote Capp action job. Removed the ejector and it was flat, no extension going into the action. There is a piece of metal inside where the ejector spring should be. Is that normal or is the ejector spring broken and needs to be replaced? Any info will help. Fox Edited January 5 by SHOOTIN FOX Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kulshan 20262 128 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Sounds like you need a new spring. They need to be fitted, just make sure the bolt clears it when it closes. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
G W Wade 987 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 There is a steel block rearward of the ejector. Early models only had the pin. The ejector was added later to improve ejection. Maker Wright has a U tube video an how the extracter and ejector work with each other... Replace ejector when they lose spring tension (go flat) GW 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Original Lumpy Gritz 7,343 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 (edited) Also ck the left side extractor to be sure the thin 'leg' hasn't broken off. Edited January 5 by The Original Lumpy Gritz 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Widder, SASS #59054 7,622 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Ejection problems can occur with any 97, regardless of who tuned it. The answers given above should help guide you in the right direction. ..........Widder Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SHOOTIN FOX 340 Posted January 5 Author Share Posted January 5 I did not want to sound like Capp was at fault. I was only asking if he did something special with the ejector system. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Outlaw Gambler 157 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Cap did do something special with the ejection system but your problem is as identified above, a new ejector spring. Very easy fix, remove the screw and old ejector spring and instert new spring and install screw. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Eyesa Horg 1,625 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 (edited) Check that left extractor also. My Capp 97 didn't eject at all when brand new, it took a notch out of the hull if you racked it hard enough. Sent it out to Capp and they filed the extractor a bit ( not straight & flat but rounded). It ejects now, but they fall right at your feet. The wife shoots it left handed so the shells don't even clear her hands. That was a Cowboy model. I've checked others of the same CM model and difference is amazing. Some are good, some not so much. No offense to anyone intended Edited January 5 by Eyesa Horg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
