Extractor?

Zorba, good job. Over time, the dirt can cause a number of issues. You don't have to clean things there often, but it should be done occasionally.

Sounds as though you were successful on your extractor R&R. That extractor spring is a strong little fella if correct. It should take quite a bit of pressure to elevate the extractor tip when in the breachblock. When the spring becomes "tired", and they do, you will begin to have extraction problems......leaving the spent brass in the chamber.

Yea, after my experience with the Nambu, I figured it was probably a good idea. I figured it was better to ask stupid questions and find out its "no big deal" to disassemble, rather than ASS-U-ME and have it explode with springs and little parts flying every which way!
