Gen 2 Ranch 7.62x39 Issues

[Dylan4570]

I'm in the process of trying to return this 7.62x39 Gen 2 Ruger ranch for warranty. Anybody care to speculate on the odds of this being covered under warranty? I have never had a new rifle push the primer out because of the headspacing, or a chamber mark the brass up this much... Not sure what I should expect but this ain't it.

SAME BOX of S&B ammo works flawlessly in SKS and Type 81. No pressure signs or primer ejection.

1. failure to extract live rounds - Fixed by me
2. Headspacing/chamber tolerance issues causing the primer to extrude after firing.
3. Chamber quality issues. Poor / Rough reamer job leaving concentric grooves in the fired brass.

Is the chamber on this gun excessively loose? Is the rough chamber preventing the brass from fireforming back into the bolt?

I would try a different ammo before sending it back. Possible that its an ammo issue. But, the marks from the chamber do not look good.

Yeah, I’d expect them to warranty replace that.

ruger should cover it under warranty , they have great customer service

i sent a ruger ranch in 300blk back not long ago for weak ejection and they replaced the barrel and bolt , they are pretty quick on their turn around time also

Its hard to tell from the picture. but this chamber is pretty junk. Sending it back today....
