bad or no gas flow, brocken extractor, damaged round, all these can stop the shell from extracting.

i think i'll go with the bad or no gas flow because the extractor is ok and i don't think it's the rounds because it happens so often thanks major

this one i can help with, a gas port or flow problem is your most likly cause after extractor failure they do have a habbit of bending the pulling face of the extractor and is very hard to see check it with a VERY good straight edge or get your armourer to check it for you a back yard gunsmith may not have the right gear good as they might be no disrespect but a trained armourer is best with these types of weapons. hope this has helped if you need more help will be glad to have a yarn and try to nut out other options
