Extraction issue

It also dings a lot of brass that doesn't get jammed. The dings are from the oprod.
Probably best to just replace bolt springs?

I'd first disassemble the bolt and clean the ejector and extractor springs as well as the hole the ejector spring sits in. A lot of gunk builds up in there over the years. If that's already been done, then yes, time to replace those springs.

Older gut showed up at sight in days at the club. He has Universal Carbine that he bought for $500.00 that didn't fire. Our local smith worked on it for about 4 hours. Now it fires once but doesn't extract. My advice to him get it to a pawn shop and be done with it.

The first thing is to clean the whole bolt as Dan suggested. While cleaning it , check the extractor to be sure it's not chipped or broken. The check the ejector spring to be sure it's in good shape. If these check out then look at the recoil spring to be sure it's 10 and 1/4 inches long. If this checks out then check the gas piston to be sure it's moving freely and that the bore is nice and clean around the gas port.

I agree with Tuna, but I'd go ejector spring first then extractor.
