Out of time ejectors are caused mostly by the trip points on the combination sear wearing and being out of alignment.
This is the part of the sear that is contacted by the step on the roll joint when the gun is opened and actually trips the ejector to throw the shell. If the trip points are out of alignment, ie: one sticking up more than the other, the roll joint will contact them at different times as the gun is opened. This causing the shells to pop out one after another instead of together.
This can happen due to wear of parts, like if one barrel is fired more often than the other, the tip will wear more. Or in the event that a combination sear was replaced. All hand fitted guns means that no two parts are identical. The tips need to be worked so they sit in the same position next to each other.
