So I took a friend of mine to the range on Friday and let him fire my MKE SBR. He fired with no problems approximately 10 mags worth. I took it home and cleaned it for the next time I head to the range. Anyway, fast forward to Saturday night. I decided I had a little free time and went to the range. First mag, a single FTE. Seemed a bit odd, so I load the next mag in after clearing and start to fire. First one ejects, 2nd does not. I clear it, try again, same thing. Clear it, try again, this time, now it's not ejecting at all. I bagged it up and fired the AK for a bit. Once I got home, I broke it down and find the ejector spring able to be removed with just my fingers. I pulled it out and it's actually bent.
My question: Clearly they are parts that must be replaced from time to time, but is it *that* common? I didn't expect to have it fail and fail so suddenly (one mag to the next on Saturday evening). Guess it makes sense to build a small box of replacement parts and at least it wasn't anything major that failed.
