I am going to take the rifle apart again and start from scratch. Mailed old carrier today and you should receive it 03/18/24. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is moot now as I got the extractor out and it feeds fine with it out. If the rifle feeds fine with the EXTRACTOR out, that should be the starting point of fixing your problem. As we discussed on the phone, you might need to lighten up the spring tension on that Extractor. If that spring still has a slight 'bend' in it, straighten it out. BUT, it might be a good idea to let us know if that Extractor is a 1-piece or 2-piece. You will know if its a factory 2 piece if the spring is 'Pinched' into the lower section of the Extractor body. Call me again if ya want. ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your help. Skid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
