Prior to this last failure, the extractor was fitted well in its grove. Not binding or loose. I have not disassembled it yet. Yes a round did not fire. Someone elsewhere advised me to look at the bolt face for any cracks or chips. He says even very small ones can cause extraction problems...

It has been a while since I worked on this. All the advise above has been helpful. The chamber has been checked for any ruff spots and lightly cleaned using a brass brush and a hand drill. The gas port and system has been cleaned. All looks and feels good to my touch and sight. I reinstalled...

Thanks ya'll!! You have given me the insight needed. A lot of the suggestions I have already tried. But after reading all your messages and some of the links, I think I will look into the extractor adjustment. The rifle and action were cleaned very well. The new extractor does look better than...

I like breakfree CLP. Used it for years. Also like marvel mystery oil. Smells a lot like large equipment in the woods. And hoppies #9 for most stubborn cleanings and bore cleaning.

Thanks! Yall have made my day. Some of your responses are hilarious. When I asked, I already knew the answer but the statement has been bothering me for some time. I just had to vent I guess. AND thank you to all the Vets on here for your service. God Bless you and your families! On another...

I have been around a while but not posted. I have been shooting guns in one form or another for over 40 years. The other day someone made a statement (or recommendation) that when training (any firearms training) I/you/everybody should not wear ear protection. They said this is "to get your...

Thanks to both of you. That does help. I don't see it on the site, but will print it when I return home.
