From your photos, it looks like your extraction problems may stem from the chamber. It looks pretty nasty with lots of pitting. A gunsmith may be able to polish it up a bit, but if that doesn't work, I would think the only alternatives would be a barrel reline or another replacement. |
Thanks but I'm almost certain it's not an extractor issue.
Even with a weapon tool (Car key lol) it's difficult to pry the spent casing out of the chamber.
Any extractor would have issues removing the shell with that friction.
I'll have to find an experienced luger gunsmith.
Know one of those?
