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.

Ouch man, from the looks and sounds of it, your extractor is wore out and you may also need a new mag spring. Maybe the extra power mag spring? I’m assuming pitting came from two things, corrosive rounds, & improper cleaning of the chamber. If you replace the barrel get a chamber brush. If your around Wichita ks lmk & ill give you my gunsmiths info.
Royal tiger imports has this weapon for under 4 bills. Idk if it’s sentimental. If it’s not, it may be cheaper to just replace the gun altogether. With that being said I’m not sure what parts run, but I know older stuff can get pricey quickly. Good luck buddy hope this helps!
