[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Steel Case Extraction

Posted: 12/12/2013 2:21:09 PM EDT

Given higher bolt speeds with 7.5 pistols, will I have extraction issues with steel .223/5.56 case ammo?

What are your experiences with this?

Mine is usually good for over 60 rounds before it starts to give trouble.

A quickie cleaning will bring it right back into action.

Is that bolt carrier extraction issue or the barrel throat getting dirty?

Do enhanced extraction springs help mitigate this?

Just lube up the casings. Load up your mag and bottoms up some lube right down inside the magazine . You should be fine.
