I worked for Ruger for a number of years. Our guns had a lifetime warranty on many of the parts and people could ship them to us for repair. It was a bit of a hassle for the owner since it had to be shipped to and from a dealer with a Federal Firearms License and it was a 30-60 day turnaround. The design on that Glock is very similar to the Ruger but that particular part is not one you want to try and replace yourself if you have no repair experience. They might be willing to send you the part if it is covered then you could find a local gunsmith to repair it. If I remember right that part on the Ruger is called an "Ejector". You just happened to get a faulty part, the tensile strength was probably off from what it should be. I own the same gun as well as a Ruger SR9 full size and I've put well over 1000 rounds through both of them and NEVER had either one jam. I did get some bad ammo once and had a few squib rounds but no jams. Just bad luck on that one.

Oh that's cool you worked there, I own two .22s made my Ruger. They are excellent guns.
Yeah I may need to goto my local gun shop and see if they need to ship it out. Might not be able to directly mail them or even go to their factory in person.
.22 pistols or rifles? I worked in the range mostly as a final inspector but I worked for a brief period of time on the Mk III .22 pistol. The rifles are made in the east coast factory. Prescott, Arizona where I worked is where all the semi-auto pistols are made. Revolvers are made in Connecticut. If you have a local gunsmith that does repairs you can email that picture of the bad ejector to Glock and they might just send you one for free. Would be a lot faster than shipping it back and forth.

Ah thanks for a link. Will look into getting it looked at by them.
My Rugers is a 10-22 takedown rifle and and a mark 4 pistol. I got the lighter aluminum body. Both are fitted with quick attach silencers.
That takedown is the ultimate survival tool, I have one myself. The Mk IV was just starting production when I retired, never got a chance to shoot that one but I love the MK III!
It sure is! I love my .22's
