PSL extraction problem

bullshot

October 29, 2012 06:07

I have a PSL and when I fire it the empty casing extracts only to the 90% angle from the center line of the barrel before the bolt closes thus "pinching" the casing just about in its center. Happens every shot so I've never been able to fire more than one round at a time before I have to open the bolt and remove the pinched casing.

What would cause this? Old grease in the bolt assembly?, something wrong with the extractor? It never fails to extract the empty but it won't throw it out before the bolt closes on it.
I'd appreciate any help you guys could offer. Thanks

  A. 'SHORT STROKE' CAUSED BY IMPROPER GAS ADJUSTMENT OR DIRTY GAS SYSTEM
  B. 'WEAK' AMMO
  C. NO/BROKEN EJECTOR

  Extractor = Extraction from chamber
  Ejector = Ejects fired case out the ejection port

  I would also make sure that you have the correct ejector in the rifle. Very few were made in 7.62 X 51. Since the rim diameter of both cartridges is different, it's likely that so are the ejectors.

  I have had that problem with ammo that was less powerful. Try the Bulgarian silver tips.
