@ RShaw.

Both you extractor and ejector look healthy.

On your first post you said failed to eject. So I thought ejector, and it's the one that breaks more often (luckily it's not a numbered part) what you describe on your second post is not an ejector problem but a failed extraction and that can happen once in a while without being gun related issues. Happens to me on an average of once every 500 rounds. No biggie (except on the timed part of a match

). The extractor is a sturdy piece, it can break of course, but it is not that common. In 20 years, in our service pistol matches where only Lugers are allowed, only saw one break.

The failure to eject a case that has cleared the chamber, on the other hand, is almost always an ejector ready to give up the ghost.

Edit. Maybe the bolt face could be cleaner. Or, it's just picture quality.
