Going nutz with my Ruger PCC!

[RVTECH]

I learned about another problem that contributes to ejection issues and MAY have something to do with the problem I had. Apparently the extractor on them has too small of a 'finger' to grab the cartridge case and in some cases it is resulting in them 'stovepiping' and not ejecting properly. While this has NOT been an issue for me I took my extractor out and can see the finger appears to be very short and a corner of it appears to be chipped off. A recommendation I read to temporarily fix it is to file the the 'flat' down to increase the size of the 'finger' to better grab the case. I did this but have already emailed Ruger and asked them if they will send me a NEW extractor but I am looking at an aftermarket one made by M*CARBO and appears to be a MUCH better extractor and I will probably order one!


Pretty dang small 'finger' to grab the brass!

Mine (an early model of the Ruger PC Carbine) has extraction issues at times. Other than this occasional issue, I have been happy with the rifle. Will have to check out the upgraded extractor.

Yep, no complaints with mine other than the ejection issue in the port I posted on in another thread but Its NOT a huge issue and I am working on resolving it - and believe I mostly have.

I decided not to send it back as I can 'deal' with the minor 'dinged up' ejection port.

Good info to have. I bought mine shortly after they hit and you had to get real lucky to find one or order one from the auctions. As they started to show up more and more I did read a few people having some minor issues with a few of them. Seems the way it goes with any mass manufactured guns. The PCC type firearm in general is NOT for everyone but I have LONG been a huge fan of them. When price at a large shop on the east coast got low enough for me to bite I bought mine and LOVE IT. One other piece of warning to anyone new to these is the bolt. They are held together with pins and when the bolt is out of the gun you can have it come apart in your hand. Had mine out in the back yard spraying it with cleaner and squeezed it just right and it came apart in my hand and sent one small part flying. I was lucky enough to find the parts then had to look at the exploded diagram to see how the hell it went together. Since then I am more careful cleaning it

LOL ! I had this happen the FIRST TIME I took mine apart and lost one of the TRIGGER ASSEMBLY pins in my driveway! I finally found it with my metal detector but reality being what it is the overall design is great, easy to disassemble and reassemble and like I once said in another post ALWAYS use a little silicon grease with ANY 'light press' pins in ANY guns to prevent them from falling out on disassembly!

Ruger sending me a new extractor - free gratis!

They no doubt know this was a problem.

Got the new extractor today from Ruger.

It's an dramatic improvement over the original but doesn't look as good as the aftermarket from M*CARBO, at least the picture of it.

I find it a LITTLE odd the top (shown) is mostly 'flat' and the bottom is slightly 'beveled' on the edges but there could be a reason for this such as its probably a STAMPED part.

Looking forward to how the little rifle works after you get it installed
