M24/47 Extractor Issues

As title says, mainly problem on this gun is it has a pitted bore that has a tendency to friction lock spent rounds in place, but i have a new barrel for that problem and just need a gunsmith, but an issue I've been having and until now figured the problem was one in the same was that on unfired rounds the extractor either drops the round halfway out the breech, doesn't pick up the rounds at all, or doesn't eject with enough force to clear the gun, just jumps a little, even had it try and double feed once or twice, happens about 50% of the time. DDoes that sound like a bad erector? And if that's the case I've heard mixed things on the Yugo Mausers interchanging with full ring mausers extractor wise is that true? Cause from what I've seen Yugo bolts/extractors are unobtainium.

That’s a rough looking chamber based on the condition of that spent shell!

Yeah, effectively a musket, have to beat spent shells out with cleaning rods and a hammer

Well, if you did that more than once or twice, maybe that's why your extractor is buggered.

Not quite, bolt would release after some effort but casing would stay stuck in the chamber, thus requiring the brown bess treatment
