Velocette Posted November 22, 2021 Report Share Posted November 22, 2021 Not knowing exactly what the issue is, have you tried cleaning the slots at the rear of the chamber which the extractor claws work in as they do get pretty dirty .Its also worth removing the extractor arms and thoroughly cleaning the slots they work in as well as the arms themselves. A very light stoning will give a nice smooth finish and its worth stoning the claw ends back to being nice and square to the arm to give the best chance of gripping the spent case. If it is the spring that's been damaged then perhaps South Yorkshire Shooting Supplies may be able to help with a replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigeonbasher1 Posted November 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2021 yes iv'e had the arms out given them a good clean, and the channels, one thing i did notice was on reassembly, the arms where easy to pull apart, as if the circlip was worn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow243 Posted November 22, 2021 Report Share Posted November 22, 2021 you can try to compress the spring clip a little but only a little as if to much it will be very hard to put it back on or may break Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you borrow one from a friend to try before sourcing a new one, just to be sure. I've just had a quick scan of the likely sources for this part and they do seem to be scarce at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The claws are certainly not easy to move on mine. I had a similar problem long ago and cured it by taking a needle file (triangular) to the extractor claw and making it a bit sharper angle. Very carefully! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
