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

If you are able to get your numbered extractor welded, and I hope that you can, I would suggest that you not use it for range work again. An aftermarket extractor is relatively inexpensive, and usually requires only minimal fitting to be 100% functional. Then if you were to break the aftermarket unit....no harm, no foul!!

I have broken 2-3 of these old extractors over the years(I shoot my Lugers a lot) and just install new aftermarket ones for function. The new steel holds up very well at the range.
