What ammunition were you shooting (bullet wt, powder if known, case mfg, etc)???

Besides the springs, what else is included in the blah blah??? IIRC, you had the 'standard' spring kit...

I also have a Ruger SS .22 auto, 4" tapered bbl, Mk 2 I think...Only fired it a couple times, don't recall how it shot...I could only get HV ammunition for it; I wanted target velocity but still can't find any...

Getting back to the Nambu, check the hook part of the extractor...Mine is worn (or maybe chipped) quite a bit on one side...
