Bolt Ejectors

The bolt ejector is a crucial component of a firearm's bolt carrier group (BCG) that plays a vital role in the firearm's cycling process. After a round is fired, the bolt ejector works to forcefully eject the spent casing from the firearm's chamber, allowing for the next round to be chambered and the firearm to be ready for subsequent shots. This action is essential for the semi-automatic or automatic operation of the firearm, ensuring smooth, reliable cycling and preventing jams that could occur from spent casings not being properly ejected.

The bolt ejector typically consists of a small, spring-loaded pin located within the bolt. When the bolt moves to the rear after firing, the ejector pin pushes against the base of the spent casing, leveraging it out of the ejection port. The precise timing and force of the ejector's action are critical for the firearm's performance, highlighting the importance of both the ejector's design and its condition for the overall reliability of the firearm.
