I second HiBC's post above. Your extractor is not the problem--it held the rim and ripped it right out.

Step #1: CLEAN the chamber well. Use the GI-spec chamber brush and be generous with the solvent. Really work it well within the chamber, and dry the barrel extension (where the lugs lock into) and the chamber well with multiple patches. Make sure that you clean the barrel as well.

Step #2: Do a chamber check. On a range, or pointing the rifle in a safe direction, chamber a round from the magazine. Remove the magazine, and pull the charging handle to the rear; the round should eject smartly. Inspect the bullet for any sign that it is being driven into the lands. If the round ejects cleanly, go to step #3.

Step #3: On the range, chamber and fire one round, loaded from the magazine. Make sure that the problem does not occur again.

Post your results, please. Good luck!
