    The seller mentioned a problem with the extractor, a replacement , being too long. The bolt also will not fully cock,, it seems to get hung up and not fully enter the chamber. I wonder if the problems are related.

    Try removing the extractor and then cocking the bolt. If it works, then the extractor is indeed too long. I see a diamond file in your future!
