Thanks for telling us how it all worked out.

"...fighting me when I tried to extract fired casings..." Headspace is bad.
A rough/unlubed(No.4's function just fine with no lube at all. That's why our Canadian Rangers like 'em.) left bolt way or a jammed/abnormal extractor spring would not be the first thing to look at. Thousands of No. 4's have been assembled out of parts bins with zero QC.
Spelling and grammar count!

Please explain how "bad" headspace affects extraction effort.
Perhaps you will also let us know what factors you feel influence secondary extraction more than friction between case rim and left boltway.
