Zephyrus

I'll likely want to look into the extractor. From reading around other forums it seems to be a root cause for a lot of action stiffness and tension if it's not sized right or fitted in the bolt properly. What I'm seeing with my bolt disassembled is different markings which may indicate it was assembled from a pile of parts and force matched like other Czech M.95 rifles. Makes me wish I had a box of spares.

The bolt jams on both fired and unfired ammunition as well as the snap caps I ordered for it to troubleshoot with.

Good evening again! I am a newly proud owner of a TNW made semi-auto Suomi. Alas on its first range debut it was discovered that the extractor has its hook broken and missing a chunk. Removing it from the bolt is a pain but I've had no luck in finding a replacement online short of getting a full parts kit or bolt assembly. I'm hoping to find some information on where I could get ahold of a replacement or have one fabricated. Any help would be appreciated.

Good evening and hello from the newbie. I'm currently stuck in a doozy regarding a cheap rifle I acquired at a gun show several months ago. It's a Steyr (Czech arsenal rebuild) M.95 Stutzen Carbine chambered in 8x56r. Now to the meat of the issue. The weapon has a bolt that is extremely difficult to operate when using live ammunition. With snap caps and with no ammunition, the bolt functions smoothly and quickly. But when ammunition is in the action, the gun binds up when opening the bolt and requires an inordinate amount of force to open. The cases show no obvious signs of malformation and the headspace is good as verified by my local gunsmith. So I am at a loss for a root cause. Any help would be appreciated.
