Hello Chuck. Thanks for showing the face of the bolt and the extractor claw. The claw is large and is covering a lot of the bolt face. It appears that the size and shape of the claw has not been trimmed and adjusted so that its edge only just touches the recess in the head of the cartridge case. You can check for this by removing the bolt from the action and inserting a cartridge into the bolt face, so that the extractor claw holds it in position. I think you will see that there is solid engagement of the claw within the recess of the case head. This is perfectly OK, if you will be feeding rounds into the chamber from the magazine only. If they feed smoothly, without any binding or jamming, the action is working properly and the extractor claw can be left as it is. If you find that rounds are binding when being fed from the magazine into the chamber, or if being able to close the bolt on a round fed into the chamber by hand is desired (in which case the extractor claw needs to pop over the case's rim), then the shape of the edge of the extractor claw needs to be looked at and possibly adjusted. When the claw is trimmed and shaped to achieve lighter engagement with the recess of the case head, the new position of the beveled edge will cause the claw to be pushed aside by the rim of a case which is already in the chamber. It's the bevel of the claw which makes first contact with the rim, rather than the flat, front surface of the claw. The claw is pushed to the side, it pops over the rim and the bolt closes properly. What's happening in the video is that the flat face of the extractor claw is pressing against the base of the rim. The extractor claw and the bolt are blocked from moving forwards. The extractor claw is not being eased to the side by its beveled edge. Reshaping the extractor claw's edge can also solve problems where cartridges get stuck half way into the chamber after being pushed out of the magazine by the bolt. Too much engagement of the claw with the case head will mean that the spring pressure from the extractor is too high. Strong extractor spring pressure stops the case rim from rising high enough behind the claw and the cartridge is held on an angle as it enters the chamber. The sharp edge of the chamber cuts into the brass and the cartridge can bind and jam. This can be a particular problem with belted magnum calibres, which have two sharp edges at the chamber entrance. Trimming and reshaping the extractor claw's beveled edge to reduce pressure on the case will allow it to slip up and behind the claw more easily and cartridges will feed more smoothly. It will be possible to feed cartridges gently, instead of needing to close the bolt hard and fast. Trimming and adjusting the shape of the extractor claw is not necessary if rounds are feeding well from the magazine and you are happy with having five to shoot. On the other hand if being able to load 5 + 1 rounds is desirable, such as when hunting dangerous game, there could be an argument for adjusting the shape of the extractor claw so that it allows the bolt to close on a sixth round that is placed in the chamber by hand. 🙂
The cartridge should be loaded from the magazine so it "feeds" under the extractor- NOT if front of it as you are doing. Why would anyone load a spent casing????
It's quite easy to fix. you know how you open a capped bottle by placing the cap on the edge of a table, on your bolt, find the recoil lug, that the zigzag looking piece near the top of the bolt. opposite side to the extractor. place the zigzig on the edge of a table and pull down. that will release the hold on the safety. if this is too confusing for you, i can do a video on it.

It’s a Mauser. Controlled round feed. Not supposed to single load. You can break the extractor. Load from the magazine.
It won't break the extractor I've done it so many times know I can lay the brass across all 50 states

Controlled round feed. Not supposed to single load. What EFM lll said
The extractor hzs no space to open up and engage the rim of the round. It is not a bolt problem, this is an operator problem.
The cartridge should be loaded from the magazine so it "feeds" under the extractor- NOT if front of it as you are doing. Why would anyone load a spent casing????
I have exactly the same problem with my mauser rifle and I would like to know how to fix it
What is the solution?
Did you figure it out , mine is doing the same thing
🤣😂
Just bought a M1916 Spanish Mauser. the safety is stuck in the "fire" position, so bolt disassembly is not possible. What is the fix for this problem?

just found someone's else video on it

Check head space, extractor claw should be at extractor grove line up for rotation.
