I have a new Ruger Hawkeye in .257 Roberts that does not extract cartridges when the bolt is pulled. Ruger's service department sent me a replacement extractor and collar ring, but the problem remains the same after switching out the parts. I've used factory-loaded Hornady ammunition and A-Zoom snap cap rounds to test the action's function. There is no stickiness of the bolt when it is operated. The rounds appear to simply slip from the extractor's grasp once they begin pulling out from the chamber and are left sliding free forward of the bolt.
Any ideas before I send the rifle back to the factory?
