Rentomski 0 Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 Sounds like the plunger ejector is not working for some reason, you'll have to strip the bolt down to find the cause of the problem. I take it that the extractor works and removes the case from the chamber? Quote Link to post
SNAP SHOT 194 Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 what actully happens when you fire off a round can you move the bolt back to extract the round or not.....or is it totally jammed. Quote Link to post
trappa 518 Posted July 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 I fire the gun and it fires fine, but when i work the bolt , the bolt comes back but without the spent case which stays in the barrel. Quote Link to post

trappa 518 Posted July 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 Extractor problem. Fixable or need to take it back to shop? Quote Link to post
SNAP SHOT 194 Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 take the bolt out and check the extracter claw..............sounds faulty..............put a round in the chamber fired case if your inside and pull the bolt back slowly see if the extracter claw has caught on the rim of the case..............

Rentomski 0 Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 Extractor problem. Fixable or need to take it back to shop? The extractor claw is not properly engaging the rim of the case for some reason. Is it broken or deformed? Certainly a warranty issue for a new rifle. Quote Link to post
SNAP SHOT 194 Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 take it to the shop mate if its fairly new they should fix it for free...............or a gunny will fix it............annoying Quote Link to post
trappa 518 Posted July 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 ok, give me 2 mins Quote Link to post
SNAP SHOT 194 Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 pull the bolt out and check that the spring is working on the extracter claw should be able to push to the outside area of the bolt and spring back in...... Quote Link to post
rizzini 1 Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 Reminds me of that coldplay song "Fix You" for some reason. Quote Link to post
trappa 518 Posted July 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 OK. i put the empty shell in, work the bolt but it doesnt pull the shell out. The extractor claw seems ok, it move out and springs back in fine enough . Quote Link to post
