Extractor and det pin probs

Evening all
I have had the problem for quite awhile now and it very annoying i can't seen to cycle my Mauser no more not at all the carts keep getting stuck on the det pin i think well they come half way out then pliers are needed also my extractor does not work even before the det pin probs and idea i may need a new top half of the receiver and bolt.

Based on my experience with other models check these things :
- det pin is properly aligned. If pin or mounting inside the slide are crooked, cartridges get stuck.
- det pin has not "swelled" due to its hammering on cartridge piston. Tip of the pin might increased in diameter slightly, causing blockage.
- hole in the cartridges are not deformed. If cartridges hit something when they fall, the may no longer be circular and jam.

Clearances is quite tight, so even minor damage can cause problems.

Another thing is to see if det pin is completely clean of deposits and rust, but I suppose you have this one well in control :-)

Yep it sounds like a det pin problem as i had the same issue when i mistakenly fired a Hudson PPSH round in a Mauser and the piston wedged itself on the det pin

The det pin is clean-ish i may need to get out the vinegar and baking soda
