P220 22lr ejector issue

[stever]

My Sig p220 22lr has a reoccuring problem. The ejector keeps sliding back out of it's channel, causing failures. Any suggestions on tightening this piece up? It uses two peened areas on the side of the chamber/barrel. The first one will keep it from completely falling out. It will clear the second and then pivot back and forth usually missing the fired casing causing a FTE.

Basically you have 2 choices, send it back to sig, or stake it, clamp the barrel onto a leather covered block, line up the ejector to extend1.1" from the breech surface of the barrel and stake it with a staking punch.

is this common? I was thinking this would be a cool pick up

Just reminds me why I am not a big fan of MY P220......

Hmm...haven't had any problems with mine.

Definitely talk to sig.

Call sig send it back.
They may even throw in an extra mag for your troubles

LAX....consider me STUPID. I saw 22LR and thought immediately about my SIG Mosquito, not the P220 shooting 22LR. I apologize profusely. I know I am getting old, but this was really dumb. But, that's the thrill of BEING old - you can screw up and nobody notices most of the time..........

Ugh!

I used a punch and moved some metal onto the ejector. Hopefully it holds. I can't pull it out with my hands.
