| Got a new PMR-30 the other day...loaded up a mag and proceeded to test the function on my new pistol. At least half the time the extractor is not pulling the round out of the chamber when I cycle the slide (causing a double-feed of course). I have not actually shot the gun yet but I am pretty sure if it won't function when hand-cycling it won't work when I shoot it. Any quick fixes or should I just send it back to Kel-Tec? |

Quoted:
but I am pretty sure if it won't function when hand-cycling it won't work when I shoot it That's not really true. A large part of the blowback extraction and ejection cycle is aided by the recoil action, so it might extract and eject just fine even though it has trouble with "live round extraction". I've run 22 and 9mm blowback smgs with missing or broken extractors and they still ran fine, albeit with weak ejection, since the extractor provides a pivot point to assist in the ejection cycle. Maybe someone with more experience specifically in the PMR30 can tell you if it's known to have problems with live round extraction or not; and if so whether that is an issue with it cycling. |

I'll just go shoot it tomorrow and see what happens
