Walther GSP .22 Extraction issue

[paulmcallister]

Hello,

I have a 1982 Walther GSP that I have owned for a couple of months. I am getting the occasional malfunction where the round will not extract. I am using Norma TAC 22 ammunition.

I'd appreciate some suggestions on what to look for before I start disassembling it.

Thanks, Paul

Take a look at a fired case. If there are any scoring marks on them (the sides) check the corresponding part of the chamber mouth for burrs. If you find any, remove them.

it could be chamber burrs, or slightly oversized ammo. The most likely problem is a dirty chamber:

I guess I had a"duh" moment. A dirty gun imagine that :) I cleaned it today and there was quite a bit of residue around the chamber. TAC 22 ammunition seems to be lightly oiled so I am not surprised at the build up.

I'll get out to the range in the next couple of days but I expect it to be much better.
