David,
Just a thought. Looking at the shape of the extractor, once the plunger is retracted perhaps it is necessary to push the extractor slightly toward the rear in order to allow it to clear a small detent and then pivot up and out of the breech block?
On another note, the conversion in the original post has the rather scarce (I think?) adjustable rear sight. Other than the one I own I have not seen any other examples. Does anyone have a feel for how common or scarce they are?
Ron
