Not sure if this belongs here or in the Gunsmithing section, but here goes. I have a Savage BVSS Mk II. It worked great for several thousand rounds, then, all of a sudden, it stopped extracting shells. I gave is a good cleaning, removed the extractors, cleaned the bolt, no resolution. I contacted Grech Outdoors, and the lady was super nice. Less than a week later, I had a whole new extractor/ejector kit. No better. I figured it might be the mag, although for the life of me, I couldn't see how, but that is not the issue. I tried several kinds of ammo, all the same result. Help??????
Issues with a Savage
- Thread starter Papaclaude
- Start date
did you try cleaning the barrel chamber out really good? could be still all fouled up chamber area making the brass stick in there! or a tiny bur somehow?
I also find that some brands stick in chambers worse then others, target/match stuff seems to extract fine but bulk blazer etc (which is supposed to be decently consistent/accurate) sometimes sticks in my Norinco NS522 and Savage FVSR...
I have also found that sometimes if I cycle the bolt just split seconds after a shot (as to take a follow-up shot) that some ammo sticks more, but will extract fine if it cools for even a second or 2. <-- I don't know this happens sometimes but it does in my NS522.
edit_ sorry I re-read 'and you gave it a good cleaning'. what kinds of ammo?

I cleaned the barrel very well. I will try paying more attention to the chamber area, but it sticks 90% plus of the time, with the 10 to 15 different types of ammo I've tried, from subsonics to hyperV's
Thanx for the pointer. I posted there.
My BSEV did that after a few thousand rounds. I got a new c-clip (the one that goes around the bolt and holds the extractor, pin and ejector) and I installed it over the old one. It does not fit perfectly but it gives more power to the system and since then I have had no more problems.

Hmmm! I'll give that a try. Thx.
