Anybody have Tulamo .223 stick in their chamber? I was actually shooting it out of my PLR-16 but the bolt is very similar to an AR. The extractor would slip over the lip of the case and not pull it out. The steel looked soft because the extractor would mush some of it over as it slipped off. I had to knock them out with a rod, which was fairly easy to do by hand actually, the extractor just didn't quite have enough to yank them out. Is this common with shitty tulammo? I've shot plenty of wolf and all kinds of brass out of this gun and never ever had a problem. Is there anything I can do to help prevent it? I was thinking of spraying the cases with remoil or something before loading them in the mag but I don't know if that would introduce any new problems.

You may be able to beef up your extractor spring with an insert, an o-ring and/or a new extractor spring. This will either keep the extractor on the rim and help your cycling, or start ripping the rims off the cases. Either is pretty cool. It may also help to clean the chamber really well, and maybe polish it with some jeweler's rouge on a 410 shotgun mop chucked in an electric drill and spun in the chamber for a few minutes to smooth things out. |
| out of my 5.56 PSA middy with a spikes tactical BCG, tula 223 55gr runs great in it. no FTF, FTE, stuck cases (shot about 360 rds so far). It goes boom and I get decent groups, although it flames out of the barrel (unburnt powder). I love the stuff since it's cheap and I am a hobby shooter, and cheap in an already expensive hobby is nice. |

Thanks for the link. Will an AR extractor spring work in a plr-16 bolt?
