I was experiencing some extraction/ejection issues.
At first it was only with some m193 of a friend’s that was made overseas. I blamed the ammo although his AR cycled it fine.
Then yesterday I was getting it with my reloads and the CBC on the first round of 5 loaded into a 10 round mag. I thought I was having mag issues but couldn’t really see anything wrong with it, it is the lowest grade mag I have judging it against my other GI mags. So I ordered up two Lancer 20 rounder’s since I don’t have any 20’s to use with the bipod and Lancers are the best out there IMO.
Started cleaning the rifle up a bit and decided to strip the bolt , first I found the four primer pieces that blew out of the overpressured reloads inside the firing pin channel. That explained what appeared to be light strikes on some of the rounds I fired yesterday.
I decided to compare the extractor spring to a new one in my spare parts kit and I think I found the root of my problems……wore out my first extractor spring.
