Steven Model 67 - Sticking Point (Started a new Thread)

I was kind of hijacking the original thread, so I created a new one.

The ejector was tight.

The bolt (all by itself) sticks a bit when at the rear of the cycling action.  I removed the trigger group, the action slide bar, and the slide piece, and put the bolt in by itself.

I could not find any wear marks that seemed abnormal.  Nor could I find any burrs or such.

One thing, I just replaced the right extractor, and it seems to lean inward past the bolt, leaving the portion near the plunger protruding a bit.  I pushed it in with my finger, then the bolt seemed (?) to slide smoother, but normal action would cause it to lean inward again.  Could it be just a case of the new part needing to wear in?

Thanks

simply remove the extractor and see if that helps the binding..  My guess is the rear corner is digging in to the inside of the receiver.  If so it may be necessary to stone off a bit of the protrusion..  Good job tracking the problem by eliminating possibilities..
