This is my first AK, so I am new to the platform. I picked up a used WASR. I was told it had 300 rounds down the pipe. I stripped it, cleaned it, and went to shoot it for the first time today. The results: When shooting sellier an bellot fmj and Tula FMJ it would fail to extract and leave a case in the chamber and jam the next round. (See pics below) I could drop the mag and hand cycle to extract the empty. no marks or gouges on the empty cases. The Tula FMJ would also fail to eject and get caught between the carrier an chamber and or  stove pipe. (Se pics below) it did not matter which mags I used results were the same.  Now here’s where it gets really weird it would run flawlessly with TULA 124 he Hollow points.

Let me know what you guys think. From what I’ve read this thing should eat all of this ammo without an issue.

Clean the chamber and pick brass or steel case and stick with one or the other.

Pull the bolt out, check the extractor, ensure nothing is lodged in there with the spring.

Look what I just found!

Extractor from my WASR on the left New extractor on the right. Look at the right side on the WASR extractor, that can’t be normal. What do you think?

Really an A.K. can’t shoot brass and steel? What issues does this cause?

Swap that extractor. Little out of spec. Shouldn't matter what ammo you feed it.

Thanks for the reply. I just swapped it.. I can’t imagine it was running great like the guy said and not having any issues. That extractor did not look good.

Went to the Range today, No failures with the same ammo. Looks like the new extractor fixed the issues!
Thanks for the feedback.
