Model 58 failure to eject shell

Post by older than you +1 »

Have Model 58 that is not ejecting the spent round. Have read that this is a common problem. Any idea for a permanent fix?

Not that common an issue. 58s are usually very reliable until something breaks. For starters:
Is your gas regulating cap intact and set to the light setting ?
Is the hook broken off on your extractor ?
Have you disassembled it and cleaned everything ?
Is the gas piston in good shape ?
What could have happened... did.
