Trying to sort out my extraction issue on my solo 300 in 300 black out.
Scoped the chamber, saw a few rough spots, so decided to remove the barrel and polish it up with some bronze wire brush.
Scoped it after the polish, not perfect, but better.
Took it too the range and extraction was better, but not great. First few shots it took more effort than I wanted to eject a case, but technically worked. Once it started warming up it got worse. Only needed a mallet to tap it out of battery once which is a huge improvement, but still pretty unacceptable. Coupled times I pulled hard enough to get it out of battery that the extractor let go of the case rim before the case could eject, leaving the empty case on top of my mag.
Letting the gun cool for about 15 min, it was back to extracting like it did when I first got to the range (not great, but good enough).
What do you guys think? Anything else to try before I send this thing back to solo 300? Not sure a second or third polishing is going to completely fix this.
