Anschutz problem

I have an anschutz 1417 .17 HMR, I'm having trouble extracting live rounds if loaded and not fired but its fine extracting spent cases? Think it may be a worn extractor claw. Has any one had a similar prob and know if I can buy a new one and where.
 
It's quite common with the Anschutz. It's probably because of it's target rifle origins and tight chamber. My friend had the same problem and had to resort to a knife to hook unfired rounds out of his rifle which can be a bit of a pain but the rifle was very accurate. Another annoying thing about these rifles is that the bolt isn't locked when the safety is on and can lift slightly.
 
+1 for the bolt lifting! I've got the 1517 hmr and have done that, slightest little bit of lift and you get a light strike and no dead rabbit!
