    Sand in the extractor cut?

    Extractor ground at some strange angle?

    Can't get any of mine to do it.

    Sorry for no help.

    Nothing to suggest - except, maybe the bolt raceway is very worn and allowing the bolt to slop about.
    Mine are not the best, but they are not too bad. I can think of lots of Enfields I'd rather have but instead of constantly striving for more, sometimes it's good to be satisfied with what one has...
