One of the first and easiest things to try is replacing the magazine.

The new ones from Mecgar are said to work well.

A machined FXO E/37 2/1000 period magazine is generally one that will function well too.

I don't personally advise trying to disassemble a magazine and replace it, which usually takes special tooling to do it right.

Also, closely examine the face of the extractor, and check to see if there is dirt in the spring well.
