Need help with Bersa 45

[TexVetDan]

I've been having ejection problems. It will pull the empty brass half way out and jam the next round under it. I replaced the ejector, spring and pin and it started to tear chunks out of the base but still not eject. So I replaced the barrel, it is somewhat better but will still fail to eject about 4 out of 10, tearing at the base in the effort. This behavior is not ammo related and it does it with both mags. I really like this gun and don't want to let it go, it will out shoot my 96 Elite II. I am out of ideas. Please help.

Only two things I can think of, did you polish the chamber? Maybe the replacement barrel was just not quite as rough, so it worked better but not right.

Another long shot is the mags, Perhaps the feed lips are too wide and the rounds below are nosing up under recoil and ripping the empties off the extractor.
