Hawk,
Maybe the ejector.
If so a good gunsmith can fix it with a little light filing.
Filing works well on FAL ejectors and brass ejection direction.
Re: AR ejection direction
Hmmm.
A2 brass deflectors on the uppers? Carbines have a little more violent ejection because of the shortened gas tube.
Maybe the carbine ejects the spent cases a little harder and they bounce forward off of the deflector.

That would be my guess. The brass deflector could kick it forward with the extra power of the ejection.

That's what it looked like was happening with my Bushie carbine. I watched the empty brass as a friend of mine shot it.
My RRA mid length does the same thing. At least it deposits all the empties in a nice pile though. Every empty case lands within a two foot circle.
Re: AR ejection direction
my carbine ejects them foward to, I have brass makes on my deflector everytime I shoot it.
Re: AR ejection direction
both my AR carbines (one stag and one DMPS) eject the brass forward.
Re: AR ejection direction
Thanks for the replies. Good to know its common on carbines.
Hawk,

Hawk,
My carbines do it too.

Well, I'm sure it will when it gets built. :D
