This gun has made it's way back to me and after giving it some love at the range it seems the problem is that it is not extracting the fired round and therefore shoving the next round into the un-extracted case. After tearing down the gas block to ensure the gas port was good and the alignment was good there my attention turned to the bolt and the extractor. I had my saiga .223 to compare to and noticed the WASR3 extractor was very easy to move/wiggle but the Saiga extractor was very hard to push back. So now I'm thinking that the WASR3 needs a new extractor spring as its weak and that's why the fired case is not being removed from the camber.
SO all that to ask, are ALL AK extractor springs the same? Where is a preferred source? Should I replace the extractor as well? This one looks fine but is there a better made extractor?
Thanks again for the help.
