I detailed stripped one of my sig 226's today and for some reason i can't get the slide to to go back on. The frame is all together and the slide is together but the feed ramp is catching on the "frame block" and I can't figure out why. If anyone has any idea what the problem might be I might be able to explain alittle better

Do you mean the slide is contacting the locking insert? Maybe the insert is not seated properly. To insert the locking insert the trigger has to be down. With the trigger in the correct position it should easily slide in to place.

Holding the slide assy. upsidedown in your hand, give the barrel lug a tap with a plastic hammer. If this does not work see if there are any burrs on the tips of the barrel feed ramp and remove them with a fine file or stone.
Try removing the take down lever and then put the slide on. It should slide freely until it is in battery. Do not rack the slide though without all parts. If it does not slide on then it is the lug hitting the take down lever.
When the locking insert is in its proper position the end closer to the trigger should be flush with the frame just behind the rails. Also the slot on your trigger pin should be horizontal (parallel to the barrel).

Is it a stock barrel? If not, some 'fitting' is usually required.
I'm not sure what else it could be. On my Sig 226 in 9 mm I have to push the barrel down at least 1/16" out of place for it to catch the front of the insert. My Sig is still very new though.
If you do take it to a gun smith let us know what the solution is!

pmb44 - before resorting to this solution, please contact me for safe removal and disposal of your sig!

Seriously though - I'm thinking that your locking insert is not in properly somehow. Is there anyway you can post a picture or two. Someone might be able to spot the problem.
The ejector could be an issue, but nothing including the ejector is obviously out of position as far as I can see. I have two of these guns and the pictures are consistent with how mine look.
The ejector should be against the left rail and mounted on the sear pin and the pin that holds the sear spring.
PM me. if you're reasonably close I'd be happy to take a look. I'm also a Sig Armorer and should quickly be able to fix your problem or determine that it needs to go back to Sig.

My Exeter, NH mfg 226 has a different style extractor so I'm not so sure exactly how your extractor should be positioned. Is yours a West German mfg? At one point the 226 had a 225 skinny extractor but now it has a 226 block extractor. If you go to a parts site you'll see there are two types.
Your locking insert looks positioned correctly. For what it's worth, on my 226 the rear of the barrel is nearly flush with the top of the slide--recessed by about 1/32". And like I said, I have to push my barrel down about 1/16" to make it contact the insert.

The extractor is fine. he has a carbon slide one like mine. there's not much you can do except put in the wrong extractor (like i did once). The slide will go on, it just doesn't extract!
