[QUOTE="Hand Skills, post: 1488236, member: 103303"] So, I'm sure this is a common issue. I've done a bit of searching, but haven't come up with anything. The claw extractor on a recent acquisition of mine is suffering from inadequate spring tension. I think the extractor ring might actually be the problem. It deforms easily and doesn't remember its shape. The extractor itself seems fine. Upon reassembly, it will reliably eject the first couple of rounds, but then loses tension and starts dropping brass on the feed rails. I was able to increase tension and get reliable extraction by shimming between the bolt body and leaf spring with a folded cleaning patch. Am I correct in assuming the extractor ring should behave like a snap ring and snap into place? If so, who makes a high quality (spring steel) replacement? Any tuning info would be appreciated, but if I'm on the right track, I'm wondering specifically if I should be looking for original parts or aftermarket? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
