Both the extractor and the ejector are springs themselves, so there are no auxillary "tiny coil springs". Evidently they have lost a bit of their temper over time, but since I doubt that you are going to shoot your '02, there isn't much danger of them coming out and getting lost. Is the little lug on the bottom of the extractor that engagages the hole in the breechblock to hold it in place intact? I don't know of a source (maybe lugerdoc?) but I have heard tell that there are some excellent repro extractors out there if you really get the urge to make the gun a little less "loose".
