my new 917 Marlin in .17 HMR causes me some problems with failure to extract. Sometimes immediately after firing the empty cartridge doesn't come out as it should. After closing the bolt it comes out on the second attempt. It appears as if it immediately expands to cause it to bind and after a little cooling it comes out ok. What could I do to prevent this. If polishing the chamber is suggested please advise of what to use and how. Thanks for any help.

ozark it might be the extractor. if you can look at the shell while it is stuck to see if there is an extractor mark. the extractor MIGHT be sticking. try cleaning the bolt and some light lube if this is the case.
i also clean the chamber by putting a clean patch on the end of cleaning brush and use from the bolt end , with bolt out of course, and that might help before you polish chamber.
also i if recall right i had this problem with the CCI shells only when it happened to me. what shells are you using?
