Extractor Chips
I was cleaning my 16ga GH the other night after shooting about 100 shells thru it and I noticed chipping on both sides of the bottom of the extractor lip. The chips are both about 1/16" long. Although this was the first time shooting this gun, I'm fairly certain the chips weren't there before.
I was using a combination of RST spreaders and Polywad doublewides. Both were 7/8oz loads with 2-1/4 DRE.
The shells extracted normally and I didn't notice anything unusual. I don't see any cracks on the extractor and the barrels and receiver appear normal.
Any thoughts on what may have caused this?
Thanks guys, appreciate your insight, Garth
