I recently purchase two M91/30's a 1944 and a 1922 Hex receiver. On both of them the extractor is really stiff and I believe is what is causing the bolts to stick as I have scrubbed both of them thoroughly inside the chamber.
On my M38 which cycles with one finger the extractor can be flexed with firm pressure against it, but on both 91/30s it takes a heck of a lot of force to get the extractor to budge and then it only moves a tad.
The bolts only stick after firing and mostly on the upstroke of the bolt. I can't find and dings or odd marks in the extractors and they don't appear to be damaging the rim either. Also the bottom of the extractor is flush with the bolt head.
Any ideas as to what is going on?
