Extraction trouble

kmichaels90 · 03-13-2012, 09:06 AM

So heres the issue when I bought my shooter it was kinda gummy and crummy so I cleaned the crap out of it. When I took it shooting I noticed that every now and then it would fail to extract a fired case and the toggle would jam the next round in the mag Into the base of the fired casing. I removed the extractor and cleaned it and the slot in the breechblock. The extractor looks great and has no dings,chips,or other deformities. I did replace the extractor spring with one from buymilsurp.com. I also had the headspace checked and it was fine and the cases have no abnormal bulges after firing. It doesnt seem to matter how many rounds are loaded in the mag or if im using WWB or federal american eagle. Basically im just wondering if anyone else has had this trouble, and things I could check for a remedy. Could my near 100 year old magazine be the problem? Im going to order myself a complete spring set and mec gar mag later this week and see if that helps. I took it out and put about 30 rounds of the american eagle through it yesterday and noticed it appeared to be piercing the primers. At that point I figured I better stop and let the experts tell me whats going on.
