Breech block extractor problem

Vic103 · 08-29-2015, 04:19 PM

Well... I got my order from Numerichs.

The breechblock was nice, hardly any fitting. Got a couple extractor springs, and a mainspring.

The mainspring can't be right, there is no way that spring would fit into my shooter. The wire diameter is.055, it has 22 coils, but it's like 4.200 long?!?

What the heck?:

Breechblock looks and works good (by hand):

I did order the mainspring set from Wolff, and I am still waiting on those. Oh yeah, my mainspring seem very stiff. The wire measured .055 diameter, it had 21 coils (looks like someone cut or ground one end of it. I forget the length it measured, but it was close to what the chart said that I saw in the sticky thread in this forum. To me my mainspring seems pretty good by the way the pistol feeds and ejects.

If these changes do not correct my problem, I think I will need to correct the headspace (mainly because I have run out of ideas) and that I know is not to spec. And the rest of the pistol seems to be in spec.

So I will be needing a new orginal barrel in good, to very good, to excellent condition, possibly barrel and receiver or whole upper assembly.

My funds are kinda limited right now, I've been pumping a lot of money into my AR's and AK's (wife is ready to flip out....he he)

I kinda hate to do this,but I have an orginal artillery Luger sight that I could barter with. If my breechblock problem dosen't get corrected and I decide I must change out barrels to correct headspace problem

Here are some pics of the artillery rear sight:
