Thanks guys. Unfortunately I do not have a bore scope. waiting on the new extractor from Remington. Hopefully that resolves it. The extractor will barely hold a piece of brass when the bolt is out of the gun. If you try to use a piece of brass that is being held by the extractor to push down on the ejector it doesn’t want to hold it. Spoke with a tech guy at aac and he said they had some extractors that were bad from the word go. the brass has a bur on it at the rim where the extractor tried to grab it. I didn’t notice it the other day for some reason.

If not the extractor what would be the next most likely cause?

Also, anyone have any tricks to getting the extractor out other than needle nose pliers or a curved pick?
