Okay ... Alexander Arms replaced my extractor and my rifle is now extracting and ejecting every time. However, I'm getting two small nicks/dents on the case neck (where it is impacting the barrel extension lugs upon extraction I assume), and also getting a small dent in the body of the case where it impacts the deflector. I'm going to guess that these issues might be caused by a too-strong ejector spring? If I cut 1 or 1 1/2 coils off of it, would that help eliminate these nicks/dents?
What about the chamber-facing corners of the lugs? Is there any way to smooth those corners, or will that come with continued use? I know that these lugs are case hardened and many don't recommend sanding or polishing these tempered parts.
I'm open for recommendations. I want to try and prevent needless damage on these expensive and hard to find brass. Also, if cutting the ejection spring is the answer, how best to cut this tough little spring?
