I did look over the extractor when I had the bolt apart. It seemed sharp and pointed to me. I will double check it.

Thanks


Also make sure there is good spring tension on the extractor so it pulls the case from the chamber rather than slipping over the rim creating a failure to extract.

Extraction= Withdrawing a spent case or live cartridge by the reciprocating bolt/slide from the chamber by a mechanical extractor that is hooked to the rim of the case.

Ejection= The mechanical process of throwing said spent case or live round clear of the action.


The firing cycle:

Fire
Unlock
Extract
Eject
Feed
Lock
