![]() When cleaning the B/C, make sure to pull the extractor to clean up it's bolt channel and the grabbing claw of the extractor. Solvents, you use what you want to clean the actual barrel bore to start with (would stay away from hoppes since it leaves a nastly residue behind), but the rest of the rifle gets cleaned and lubed with CLP. It should be smooth as a mirror with not reamer chatter/ridge/grooving marks. Once you have the chamber clean and dry, take a good look at the chamber. If the empty casing is being extracted from the chamber, but not being ejected, then you possibly have lack of gas pressure (gas leak, soft ammo, etc), something hindering the bolt carrier from traveling all the way rearward, rifle is cycling too slow, friction where the bolt carrier is dragging inside the upper, barrel nut is not aligned properly causing friction on the gas tube/carrier key relationship, lack of lubrication on the 7 bolt lugs & rails of the bolt carrier (Use a quality lubricant like Slip2000 "EWL" Extreme Weapons Lube), dirty or fouled chamber, etc.Ĭlean the chamber with a chamber brush and CLP by hand. If you have to run a cleaning rod down the barrel to force the empty casing out, then you have to look for what is holding the casing in the chamber (dirty chamber, lube or fouling, rough chamber, etc). If you manually cycle the action to remove the non-extracted empty casing, and the extractor won't grab it, then is the lip ripped off the empty casing which indicates that you have strong extractor tension, but may have a rifle that is unlocking too early, over pressured issues or possibly soft brass cased ammunition, etc. ![]() If it is failing to extract the empty casing (leaving the empty casing in the chamber), then how are you able to get the casing out of the chamber? If you can manually cycle the action and remove the empty casing, then you may have a weak extractor tension, bad or dirty extractor, rifle that is unlocking too early, etc. Is your gun failing to extract or eject, as they are different issues? Is it failing to extract where it is leaving the empty casing in the chamber, or failing to eject where the empty casing is being extracted from the chamber but the bolt carrier isn't going rearward enough to eject the empty casing? ![]()
