Cleaning The Bolt, Bolt Carrier & Components…cont’d

3. CHECK THE EXTRACTOR AND EXTRACTOR SPRING:

If the Extractor is chipped, or has broken edges in

the area of the lip that engages the cartridge rim, it should be replaced. Check that the rubber insert is

inside the Extractor Spring. Clean off any Carbon buildup or powder residue.

EXTRACTOR

Cleaning /Lubricating the Ejector

NOTE:

The design of the Ejector makes its disassembly for cleaning somewhat impractical

(i.e. we don't recommend it). Make sure your rifle ejects empty cases efficiently by following these steps on a

monthly basis (more frequently if firing blanks).

With the Bolt removed from the Bolt Carrier and the Extractor installed, hold it as shown, and dribble a few

drops of Rem Oil around the Ejector to form a puddle.

Take a fired or dummy case and place it under the lip of the Extractor. With a rocking motion, press the

case down against the Ejector. Since the Ejector is spring loaded, some resistance will be felt. Press on

the case until it stops against the bolt face. Ease off with your thumb slightly and press down again.

Repeat several times. Replace the Rem Oil frequently. Once the spring action of the Ejector is smooth and

strong, dry off any excess lubricant.
