I worked in a gunshop before moving to the bush. Never had a mauser-type action with claw extractor ever come in that was busted, but had several Rem. 700s come in  with that tiny extractor busted, cartridge stuck in chamber. But it was always on the bigger magnum calibers. I've had an old adl in 7mm rem mag for a long time, never had a problem with the extractor. Had a few Sako actions in .338 also come in...I think it was the slide rail would break the pins and jam in the bolt grooves. One guy was nearly killed by a bear after the first round hit, couldn't get the bolt open on his custom Sako for a second shot.
