Title: Extractor in the way of bolt face.
Post by Legion on Jun 1st, 2020 at 5:09pm
Bought a krag a few years back and haven't really shot it much, just recently took it out to shoot and noticed that I had a hard time closing the bolt.
I bought some go/nogo gauges and tried to see if it was maybe a headspace problem (could be not enough headspace maybe?) but the bolt wont even close on the go gauge.

I looked at the bolt and it seems the extractor is getting in the way of the bolt closing on the cartridge fully. If I load through the loading gate the bolt wont close but if I manually seat the cartridge on the bolt it will close just fine.

The extractor doesn't seem to lift over the cartridge rim when closing the bolt, any tips on how to fix this issue? Seems like a simple issue but I'm not the most gun savvy person.

Will try and add some pictures later.
