I built a 25-06 Rem off of a commercial Dumaulin Mauser. The action is new. My issue is that while it feeds well and shoots very accurately, it does not extract well. The extractor claw drops the spent cartridge as soon as it is about 50% clear of the chamber. Also, if you remove the bolt and place a cartridge head behind the claw extractor, it doesn't hang onto it at all. It seems like either the claw is not wide enough, or the bolt face is out of spec. making the fit very loose. I have tried two different other extractors, to no avail. Where do you all recommend I go from here? Seems like I need a mauser expert to sort this one out.
