I have a Remington Model 700 7mm Rem. mag that is giving me a problem. After firing it, I am having problems getting it to eject the casing. The casing is sticking inside the chamber and its hard to get it to grab the casing and eject it. I thought maybe it was the ammunition so I bought two different brands and no matter the brand, the casing sticks in the chamber after firing. Does anyone have a clue as to what could be causing this? Thanks.

Dirty chamber? Broken extractor or spring?

It shouldn't be a dirty chamber. It is a new gun.

Clean the hell out of it, lube it sparingly and try it again. Every one of my new rifles gets this done before it ever hits the range. New does not mean it's clean.

Model 700's have piss poor extractors. Unless kept clean, they fail. Some times they fail anyway. If cleaning it does not fix the problem, upgrade the safety to a SAKO type or, better yet, upgrade the whole rifle to something else.

You could have a burr in the chamber, that is locking in the fired brass. Seen it before...look for scratches on the spent cases.

Put a pirate sticker on the stock. That'll turn it from a POS into a great rifle instantly.

Yep. Ran into that on a friend's rifle (also brand new). Chuck a brush in a drill, wrap it with 0000 steel wool and run it in the chamber.

I havent ran into that in quite a long time.... BUT, i have had a wthby and a rem 700 do this (a freind also had a 700)..... sent them back adn they "polished the chamber" and that was all it took. Easy for them, a bitch for any of us normal folk. I would send back for them to do and you will have it whipped.

Way more hassle to ship then polish the chamber.

My buddy polished his chamber with steel wool, wrapped around a brush, and attached to the short section of a cleaning rod. He then stuck it in his cordless. It worked.

Try cleaning out any brass shavings under the lip of the extractor first.

Odd that I haven't seen one that's "crap" yet. As many rifles as the big green manufactures, I wouldn't be surprised if one got through quality control that shouldn't every now and then. But to use the word "notoriously"? How many have you had or personally witnessed? I'm not a fan of Sako extractor conversions, either.......and yes......I do have one. Some do M16 extractors as well.

yea, somebody should send the memo to the military and LE that they should all dump the REAL WORKING M700/M24s for mausers/M70s

Does anyone have a clue as to what could be causing this? Thanks. If you're in over your head, call Remington and send it back to them. I know several things I'd check, including chamber and extractor/plunger tension. All free and clear of debris? May be dirty chamber? Check for burrs and marks on cases as has been suggested. Any decent smith can disassemble the bolt in a few seconds and diagnose all of the above. I know our local wouldn't charge for it unless he found something that needed more than a spring or light tweaking.

(out comes me with a cleaning rod...).

interesting you should say it is a 7mm Mag - 2 of the rifles I saw the broken extractor in were 7 Mags....

I've got an early KS 7 mag here with one end of the extractor broken loose, supposedly a very low round count rifle. I've been shooting it fairly regular with one rivet holding the extractor, just haven't got around to having a new one put in yet. Whoopie.
