▲ 68 r/AR10

I have a 13.9P&W, with a KAK adjustable gas block. Barrel and bolt are Faxon, upper and lower are Aero. I took it out the first time and on every round, the bolt fails to extract the round, and I have to tap the case out with a cleaning rod. They’re not stuck bad, one light tap gets them out. This happens no matter what gas setting I use, even turned all the way off, when I try to manually cycle it the bolt just lets go of the round with very little pressure on the charging handle. I don’t believe it’s an ammo issue, as I’ve tried Winchester, Hirtenburger, PMC, Armscor, and Swiss 147gr M80, all brass cased. I’m thinking it may be a bad extractor, but am interested in any recommendations and if anyone else has had this issue or any ideas.
