Folks,
      I need some help diagnosing an issue I have with my new (<100 rounds) AK103 from PSA. The pics below are from two incidents during the same sessions and can show you better than I can describe but it seems I have an extraction issue. Mags are from PSA, ammo is from a spam can that I bought from my local gun store. All of the rounds at the very least look good to go. Issue is happening at random times, sometimes after the first shot, sometimes I get through half a mag and we're stuck again. Weapon was cleaned before this last shoot.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Sorry I cant help with your problem, but what optic mount are you using?

Hammer hump.

The carrier rides over the hammer and causes stoppages.
Just had to break my psa in as well.

Takes a good amount to break in. Dremmel can make it quicker.

Solution: rack the carrier 4-500 times then shoot a few more mags.

It is the AK Alpha Series Optic Mount mounted on a AK Alpha Series 6'' Handguard, both from Midwest Industries.

So what you're saying is, is that I'm about to get a lot of practice on stoppage drills.

Thank you for the offer. AS one of the other posters recommended, I'm going to it some more and see if that works. If I don't see any improvements I'll be sure to give you guys a call.
