    Oly is catching

    My Oly is catching and a round stays in the bore and won't eject properly. Anyone have a idea? The ejector is fine.

    Tight, (out of spec), chamber.
    Crappy, (out of spec), ammo.

    I notice you said it won't eject. (I read extract)
    Is it trying to feed another round behind the spent cartridge?

    Are you having the problem with steel cases or brass cases?
    Steel cases are known to stick in some chambers since they have a corrosion resistant coating on them I believe. If shooting steel cases switch to brass and see if problem disappears.

    Well the extractor is letting go of the cartridge.
    It's cycling enough to pick up a new round.

    It's either your chamber or your extractor.
    You can order an extractor upgrade kit from BravoCompanyUSA.com for like $14.

    BTW, if you don't want this thread locked down, edit out your offer to sell the NVG's.

    Olympic Arms barrels are well-known for chamber issues. I would start by replacing the extractor spring and inspecting the extractor.

    Is this a new issue or an on-going one?

    Seriously, your best bet would be to sell the Oly to someone who knows even less about guns and and invest in a serious rifle. This is not a flame but you will continue to be plauged by issues from Olympic.

    You could keep wasting money on parts and listen to the people here complain about Olympic OR just send it back to them free of charge for repairs. Good thing about the industry it doesn't matter what brand you buytthey all will fix any problems.

    OP, when Iraqgunz takes the time to offer advice, you would do well to heed it.
