Hi cal SKS mag adapter

[Skilledsapper]

Hey fellow gun nuts I'm interested to hear if anyone has put in one of the hi cal mag adapters into an SKS. I've got it all trimmed out it seats nicely and chambers. When I pull the action back my extractor does not extract the casing, why would that be? Any tips or experience would be greatly appreciated. Thanks fellas have a nice day!

Bolt catching on something and not going all the way into battery?

It chambers a round fine and cycles through no problem. The extractor on the bolt face just doesn't grab and expend the round..just thinking out loud here it might be the bolt riding on top of the mag just enough to miss the extractor catch.? I'm not entirely sure but that's just what I think.

Sounds plausible, but sounds like a "process of elimination" approach is needed to diagnose what and where is causing it.

So after closer inspection I noticed my bolt does not fully close. Also the Bolt hold open latch doesn't allow me to seat the mag with the bolt closed.. Interesting I guess I will have to shave the bolt and BHO down a bit more.
