Your extractor is broken. It doesnt matter how clean it is, its not going to work right until you change it.


The extractor may be "wrong" somehow, and need replacing, but it is not obviously broken.
Repeating: "Nothing looks damaged or worn about the extractor."
The above was from checking it out with a good bit of magnification.
I think it may have something to do with how tightly and smoothly the extractor slides in its groove.
You know how these things are (like 260Remguy's magazines above), one works, one doesn't, and you cannot find a thing different between the two. I just hope one works!


You probably know this, but I'll say it anyway - there are two different extractors for the M100, depending on serial number range.. Just FYI.. smile


Redneck,

Thank you so much for telling me that. If I did know that, I forgot it. I'm pretty sure but not positive that I bought the extractor from Jack First. I hope I have the correct one. Is there an obvious way to tell if I have the right one?

(A sad update is my friend who I originally sold the rifle to and who I was planning to give it back to died suddenly this past Sunday morning. Cardiac arrest, probably a blood clot due to a recent difficult surgery. He was 64, which seems too young, especially to me! But I know his son, and if I can get the damn thing working the rifle will go to him.)
