I just got my new m85 pistol last week. I shot it yesterday at my house, 30 rounds from from a pmag, not one issue.
Took it to my dad's place to show it off and it jams 3 or 4 times a magazine. Used 3 different ones.
The jam is failure to extract the cartridge from the chamber. The cartridge has has a small scuff where the extractor slipped off. The cartridge that's stuck in the chamber, really isn't stuck I can pull it out with my fingernail or by pulling out the mag and recycling the bolt it pops right out.
Pistol still jammed even after wire brushing the chamber.
The extractor on the bolt looks ok. Has spring pressure. Holds a shell in it to that I can't pull it out of it.
Anything else I can do or is anyone experiencing the same issues?
The ammo each firing was the same brand American Eagle xm193.

I'm having the EXACT same issue, OP. After the first 200 rounds of brass cased .223 ammo (coincidentally, American Eagle), I had zero malfunctions. I have to say, it's a damn fun thing to shoot.
After changing out the FCG for a Tapco G2 and switching to Wolf .223 steel cased ammo, I was getting the occasional FTE. Okay, dirty chamber, right? After thoroughly cleaning the pistol, I went back to the range only to find it was having the occasional FTE with steel cased AND brass cased ammo. I also thought the extractor might be the problem.
I've since switched back to the original FCG, but have yet to get to the range to test it out. Hopefully I'll get there this weekend. If I do, I'll post an update.
