SSG 69 Problems

Steyr bolt- top ls.jpg Steyr bolt- top.jpeg I was at the range when my magazine stopped feeding & then the gun refused to chamber a round! Upon inspection it appears that the extractor claw is pushing in too close to the center of the bolt face. I'm guessing there is a broken positioning spring underneath. The magazine has been weak for sometime and I think the spring needs replacing. The rifle is 50 years old!

I'm looking for detailed diagrams of the bolt and magazine & any advice and/or suggestions. - Thanks!
 
Have you tried polishing the face of the extractor? Any burrs there? Does the extractor move when pressed outward by hand?
There should be a pin through the extractor pivot point. Drive it out until the extractor can be removed and see what's under there.
