    Thanks guys.
    Yes, I have already ordered a new spring and extractors from Kilwell.
    As I single load, the extractors both open up at the same time to go over the rim of the case (which I have part loaded into the chamber by hand).
    If I loaded from a magazine then the rim would simply slide up behind the extractors as I closed the bolt, and no problems then.
    So it's probably an ongoing thing for me.
    I will try to tighten and tension the 2 old spring clips I have so that I have them as spares.
    Just now playing with modifying the single shot adapter to allow the round to sit down at the back further, so that it will slide up behind the extractor claws as the bolt closes. That may be all I need to do (if it works and I don't bugger the adapter).
    Micky Duck and Fssprecision like this.
