Thanks guys, I figured out the problem this afternoon. My buddy is the dealer that I got it from and he was very insightful.

It seems that it's a problem with the ammo. The ammo I was using was some bulk russian ammo that he got me dirt cheap. It was about $80/1000 rds.

The extractor is fine, as the gun is still brand new and only shot a couple of times. The problem is that the extractor was tearing through the rim of the casing. The casing was staying in the chamber, not stove-piping. He said that he's had that problem before with this particular ammo.

I bought the ammo to plink with and just to put rounds through the gun. I definitely wouldn't use it for anything else, especially not home defense.

Still curious, though...does anyone else have one of these guns? If so, what's your opinion of it?
