Not extracting

You should be able to cycle it by hand to see if it is pulling it out of the chamber, but of course if a porrus chamber is the issue non-firing will not show the problem.
Clarify the problem for me please.

DavidJayUden, It may be both! I would shoot, no brass coming out. Recall I was loading only one round. So I would invert the gun (or at least past ninety degrees to vertical so breech/opening pointing to ground), then action the toggle by hand and the spent round would tumble out. In all but ONE case the toggle was closed and fully down after firing. One time it trapped a casing between toggle and chamber.

So regarding your comments " the brass is stuck in the chamber because the extractor let go of it (slipped off the rim)"--yeah maybe. But when I would hand action a moment later it came out. Or "simply not being thrown clear of the gun before the toggle starts forward, that is another."--yeah, that happened too with the "chimney" round as mentioned by another.

So since I posted this, went to workbench, cleaned the **** out of it again, cleaned out front of breech-block, under the extractor, cleaned chamber with brass bristle brush, emery #800, oiled, cleaned, oiled again. Then I ran all the rounds that failed to extract/eject this morning and now I'm having them come out with hand actioning. Good news..... but below in another post 4 Scale said the Fiocchi .30 is not up to the task on the toggle and spring--grrrrr. That may be the case here too; hence why I only bought two boxes. Nonetheless that's all I have and the other he recommended is out of stock. I'll have to find another.

Couple pictures of the extractor.
