[quote=LRRPF52]As to an extractor dragging inside the hard chromed carrier, the chrome will usually win.
You should feel resistance from the gas rings once they transition from the largest ID of the bolt channel in the carrier, to the mid-section ID where the gas rings are compressed into the tighter ID in order to provide a gas seal, combined with the bolt tail in the smallest ID:
Thanks LRRPF52, I concur! Especially during much of the bolts cycle forward and back, it has a live round, or a spent casing engaging the claw which also should reduce the other end of the extractors drag, or eliminate it.
