flippermaj Posted November 12, 2020 Report Share Posted November 12, 2020 I started a new thread as the old one was way down the list. The original problem was fired cartridges in the right barrel where incredibly hard to pull out. Okay an update on the problem! i had a much closer look today after scrubbing the chamber yet again. It appears that the problem is caused by the extractor. With the barrels off the gun and the extractor duly seated flush with the chambers a fired cartridge will fit comfortably in both barrels and is easy to pull out. Assemble the gun and try to insert the same cartridge into the right barrel and it is very tight, but at this point the extractor is fully extended so it appears the problem is with the extractor, I guess it is slightly bent some where??? Whats the fix, a new extractor? If so is this a home job, I can only see one screw that may hold it in place? cheers flipper Again looking further it appears the extractor when fully out is slightly twisted. Looking at the photo you will see the top left corner is lower then the top right corner. Can I knock this back into shape? I guess a previous owner knocked it out of shape somehow?

ditchman Posted November 12, 2020 Report Share Posted November 12, 2020 undo the retaining screw and draw the 2 halves out...........it looks as if the top pin is bent ...it is unlikly that the bottom main slide is bent as it is quite thick........buying new extractor and slotting in is not an option as they have to be fettled to work perfict start off by taking the 2 halves out first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saltings Posted November 12, 2020 Report Share Posted November 12, 2020 at full extension grab yourself a set of pliers and twist extractor so it looks right and slides smoothly and sits flat it probably looks ok fully home so a bit of a twist dont be afraid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flippermaj Posted November 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2020 Yes when fully seated it looks fine, just off line at full extraction. Will give the pliers a go tomorrow. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder how it got that little bit twisted in the first place, an odd part to catch on something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wymberley Posted November 13, 2020 Report Share Posted November 13, 2020 Re the previous two posts, are we talking about the extractor shaft itself or the guide spigot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flippermaj Posted November 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2020 Took the pliers to it this morning and a little tweak seems to have levelled it out. I can now insert and withdraw a fired cartridge with ease from both barrels. Yet to fire a shot for a full test but all looks good. Thanks to everyone for their help. cheers Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunman Posted November 13, 2020 Report Share Posted November 13, 2020 Is the top guide peg broken ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't do any harm to quickly check that the extractor guide peg is still safely engaged in its guide when the extractor is in the extracted position - ie - on its stop.
