I am just finishing fitting the extractors on my gun. I noticed this problem during fitting and ended up filing the extractor claw down so that when the bolt is retracted with a shell case under it it (the extractor) just slightly clears the hole and doesn't bind, I also used a cratex wheel and polished the face of the extractor so it will bump over the shell head easier during loading. I should know in a few weeks if it works during actual firing but it does seem to be o.k. on the bench
