    Understanding extractor lift

    I can't remember if I had posted this here before and if I have just ignore.

    Extractor lift occurs during the initial rearward translation of the bolt after bolt rotation stops.

    Case extraction and ejection successfully occur as long as the case is held against the bolt face by the residual chamber pressure while the extractor lifts and returns to position.
