I recently purchased a Howa 1500 Varmint in .223 with the 20" heavy barrel and hogue stock. I had a chance to shoot it finally and the rifle shoots and looks great. Ever since the first few shots, it had problems extracting spent cases. It will pull them out of the chamber but will not "throw" them out. Does not have a problem with live cases for some reason. It progressively got worse so I sent it in to one of Howa's repair centers to be looked at. Anyone had any issues with Howa's extractor? Is this a common problem? thanks for the help.
