GSG-5 Extractor
8/21/2011 6:11:20 PM
Does anyone's extractor look like this? I have a GEN 2 purchased brand new a few years ago. I have hardly shot it due to consistent cycling issues and mostly sits in the back of my safe. After yet another unsuccessful range trip, I came upon some of these tips and decided to give it a shot. I am in the process of completely breaking down, cleaning, and re-lubing the gun, while looking for the other common issues. This is the only part I can see that potentially looks bad...
If this is a normal look, I remain hopeful my thorough cleaning and re-lubing will be the trick...
Thoughts?
Thanks!

Hello,
I just purchased my GSG-522 about a week ago and just checked it. My gun looks exactly like that. It seems to be some leftover crease from manufacturing maybe?

Mine looked a little like that before I worked on it.
Will the extractor claw hold a casing on the bolt face, or is the grip on the rim so loose that it falls off at the least excuse? If the case falls off too easily, it makes for very unreliable extraction and lots of stovepiping / FTE. Reprofiling it made my gun run 99.9% better.

I sent mine in for warranty because I had all kinds of issues. Mostly FTF, and a few problems with the breech not closing all the way. I had a few stovepipes, but not many. I sent the gun back and they said the barrel had come unscrewed 1/2 a turn. They tightened it, and also replaced my etractor. Gun has run tip top ever since.
