Curtis Custom 22lr conversion

[021411]

Just got the ejector plate finally. Either I’m an idiot or it’s not fitting in my KRG whiskey 3. Any tips? Did you have the action removed from the chassis before install?

I installed the ejector first then put the action in the chassis.

This is what I have been waiting for.

60° throw is king and I couldn't care less about bolt head conversions, so this has me more than interested.

So, in the pic this appears to have front locking lugs, correct?
If so that is a giant step forward in rimfire accuracy in my opinion.

on the older posts around use in a terminus I did talk to Joel last year and the kit should not fit. The previous posts on bolt size difference are correct and the curtis kit should not fit unless its downsized, which is unlikely. Since the curtis cf bolt doesnt fit a terminus either (I have both to test)

Everything is set except now I it won’t eject any rounds. It appears when I run the bolt back the magnetic ejector plate dips just enough for the round to slid over and not to eject. When I remove the mag and push hard on the bottom of the ejector plate it will then eject. Any advice?

I have zero feeding issues with my vudoo mags…just won’t eject. It also won’t eject if I push hard on the bottom of the vudoo mag in an attempt to put more upward pressure on the ejector plate.

Have another chassis you can test?

Only have the KRG unfortunately

Is there much play in your ejector when it’s in?

Mine feels pretty snug but then again I’m using an Axiom. Don’t know if that makes a difference.

Have you made any progress in solving the ejection issue?

Haven't had a chance to mess with it. Chase said he would send me another ejector plate but hasn't yet. I'll try sanding the edges a few thousands and hopefully that will fix it.

So Chase recommended I sand down the ejector plate on the top face so it will sit higher and fix the ejection problem. Stupid question but I’m unsure exactly what to use to get an even sanding. Ideas?

He said he’d send me a new one but i haven’t received on yet…

Okay, so I’m pretty sure part of the reason is the ejector. I tried to epoxy the ejector plate to the mag well. I’m now getting about 60% ejection rate. Hope with a new one it will be better

Hopefully you can get it to eject properly.

Sanding it did the trick. I also added some loop Velcro to the top of the vudoo mag and it’s almost 100%. I’ll be shooting it finally this weekend

Working well for me so far. First group I was able to shoot. Plan on doing more in the next week or so.
