Broken Extractor... Rebuild or Replace, any recommendations please?

Thanks for the consideration on this guys.
The thought never crossed my mind to simply make an arty rear toggle out of what i've got--good thinking.

I've also been toying with the idea of getting a reconditioned artillery barrel, with sights intact, and the proper rear toggle link fitted to gun (Lugerman has this as a package on his web page to convert non artilleries to arty. I of course would simply be making an artillery into a complete, in stock form.)

I like the sleeve idea too... more than one way around the barn here as well.

More fun info.

Got back to the range this morning to prove the new extractor.
Made 5 shots, ejected cases perfectly... then, broke my breech block--Yaaaay!

A little half-moon shaped section of the back wall (at 12 oclock pos.) that holds in the firing pin spring retainer decided it wanted to be elsewhere... and did indeed go gleefully to that place.

Long drive, short day.

I'm beginning to think I should do what my dad did: Put gun in box in basement, never look at gun.

Sorry too hear about your bad luck......sometimes one just can't win, no matter what. Well, if you are going to have your extractor micro welded, then just include the breachblock and have it repaired also. If you want to continue to shoot your Luger, then do as many of us do and purchase a repo breachblock and fit it to your receiver. They take a bit more fitting then an extractor, but not too bad. I feel sure that Tom(Lugerdoc) has some, and I believe that Numrich and Sarco may well also. Just a thought.
