Benelli MP90S reloading problems

Hi everyone.

I recently bougth me a used Benelli MP90S.
The gun is as new, though it is used (aprox 1000 shots).

I have a small problem with it. The problem does not occur everytime, aproxx every 7-8 magazine (35-40 shots)
When i have loaded up the magazine with 5 rounds, and take the first shot, the extraxtor can´t pull the used shell out. It only pulls the used shell half way out, and naturally it can´t reload again.

I have cleaned and lubricated all parts the best i can, and im out of ideas now.
The ammunition used, is standard Magtech.

I´ve read, that the rubber buffer can cause some reloading error, but do you guys think that this could be the thing here ? I mean, when its only the first round thats the problem ?

I hope someone out there knows what to do :)

Best regards
Stefan

while not experienced with the Benelli in .32:
- I found that Magtech ammunition was 'sharp' in my GSP, and did not group well (to put it mildly)
- the extractor does not pull the fired shell out when the pistol is fired - it provides a pivot for the ejector to throw the case clear
- it might be that a/ the recoil spring is light for the loads, b/ a problem with the ejector c/ the loads are too heavy for the set-up of this pistol d/ a magazine problem (or any combination of these)

Now i have changed the buffer, and the recoil spring and everything seems to be working fine again :)

Could be a slightly rough chamber and soft Magtech brass.
