Luger Failure to feed

So if you raise the toggle up and back until it locks, you can not reach into the top and with your finger raise the front tip of the extractor? If you definitely have the extractor pivot pin out and it still will not come out or raise, then careful heat and penetrant may be in order.
Also, did the pin, once removed, show signs of rust or corrosion?
On the P08 the rear of the extractor does drop down below the surface of the bolt carrier when the front raises, so I suppose that in desperation you could use a small brass drift and tap down on the rear to break any rust of corrosion.
Or you could put it in a box and send it to LugerDoc.
