    You are correct in the cam pin, it seems on the extraction cycle when the cam pin pivots it is the exact spot of the gouging which I am getting. Also on the right side "magnetic bolt handle" there is ware but nothing excessive. Also this rifle was returned for a fractured or chipped bolt on the rear side of the guide rode hole. I like the rifle even though it has teething pains.

    So possibly stupid question, bit of a newbie to firearm teardowns. Is there a schematic or guide on how to disassemble the bolt carrier group, my serial number is within the recall range. Don't want to bust anything haha

    Just got my new WK180 from Wolverine last Wednesday, did the appropriate break-in 30rds no problem.
    Took it to the range yesterday and it ran like crap! Failing to extract almost every round; spent case stayed in chamber then bolt cycled trying to feed a new round getting it stuck in the feed ramp. Tried 2 different types of ammo (Independence 5.56 and American Eagle .223) with same result.

    When i returned home i disassembled the bolt and when compared to my AR bolt (S&W M&P Sport II) i noticed the WK's extractor spring significantly softer and missing the little rubber donut (o-ring) around the spring. On the WK i can press on the rear part of extractor arm (behind the pivot pin) with my thumbnail and depress it to "lift" the extractor claw, on the AR-15's bolt its much much hard to do so?
    Also the spring wider end was sitting against the bolt body instead of against the extractor cup like in all AR's i have.
    Do i possibly have a bad extractor?
    Rifle has less than 80 rounds through it

    I had a double feed too, with a weak extractor spring

    If you got the part kits there should be a little rubber o-ring that you can put around the extractor spring. This has solved the problem for some people. I decided to replace the entire extractor and spring and added the o-ring and an internal rubber plug that goes inside the spring (you can get them all from True North Arms). Didn't cost much and solved the problem.

    thanks so much for correcting my terminology..maybe you could share your vast wisdom on why the bolts and now carriers are breaking. Cast or machined..the point was they were manufactured from inferior metal.
