Just unboxed a brand new CZ 550 FS (30-06) and noticed the claw extractor has a slight bend in it. CZ gunsmiths say it’s perfectly normal for the 550 and 527 series, but it feels a bit off for a factory-fresh rifle at this price point.
Does anyone here have the same slight bow or dent in their CZ extractor?
Is this just part of the Mauser-style design, or should I be pushing for a replacement?
 
“Normal” is doing heavy lifting there. If it runs flawlessly, fine...if not, that bend becomes a warranty conversation real quick.
 
Honestly, for a brand-new rifle at that price even a little doubt is enough reason to make them make it right.
 
That slight curve’s usually normal on Mauser-style extractors. If it feeds and extracts smoothly, I’d run it without worrying.
