Electroless Nickel Question

lfi guy

To solve an ejection problem with my Series 70 Commander- the gunsmith thinks that adding a scallop (cut out) at the back of the ejection port, like recent 1911's would solve the problem. The trouble is refinishing the slide- or do I just leave the area as is. The likelihood of the nickel peeling is ...?
Time for DuraCoat? Suggestions??

If it were MY electroless nickel CC (& I have one), I'd look for a new gunsmith.

What kind of problem are you having I would look at in this order EXTRACTOR, Ejector, Recoil-Spring, AMMO , The shooter not griping the pistol firm enough,ALL OF THE ABOVE SHOULD BE CHECKED before Grinding on a Pistol. The only reason we make the port bigger The ejection port is large enough The only reason we make it larger on some pistols is to keep from dinging the case mouth.

Since I put in an extended (oversized) ejector and another extractor,
The cases only hit me (forehead) 1/12 as oppossed to more frequently before working on it. I've tried a variety of extractor tensions, which does make a difference, but doesn't solve the problem. Lost track of recoil spring changes. I agree with not cutting the ejection port. My series '70 gov't model doesn't have that problem, and the port is not relieved.

Hello [:0][:I] now I see the problem someone changed some parts [:o)]. Sorry The devil made me say that. Ok that does change the rules of the ball game . If you look at the nose of the ejector ti may be flat or cut on an angle . Picture the back of the case "HEAD" as a clock the extractor will pull the case out at about 3-4 oclock and then the nose of the ejector will contact the case head at about 7-8 oclock what you can TRY is with a stone or swiss file is to contour the nose of the so that it first contacts the case head as close to 9 oclock as possible this will cause the case to exit sideways instead of up and between the eyes [:(!][xx(][:(] Also the new extended ejector may be slightly too long and is contacting the case before the slide is far enough back to have the case clear the port.
