I don't know what the poundage is but the gun has functioned flawlessly since with 147 blue bullets, 115 GDHP, and 115 FMJ just to name a few. Since it runs now, I plan to just leave it alone.

Extractor properly tuned and all is right with the world now

Thanks to all. It helps knowing that is not uncommon to see one like this (seemed like it would be to me). Anyways, Remington sent a prepaid labeled container for it, so a resolution is hopefully in sight.

Has anyone ever had one this loose?

The above picture was taken as it sat from the factory. I have been attempting to adjust it but I don’t know if there is just too much gap to overcome.

Apparently there is no trick. You just wiggle everything around for an hour till it falls out. What is the best way to get the extractor out with scratching everything up.

So I have a R1 Recon Commander double stack 9 that has an extractor issue. Occasionally, a spent casing is getting wedged at an angle underneath the extractor. Upon further inspection I noticed that on the last round of the mag, the empty case is frequently left resting on top of the now empty mag. I learned that by placing an empty in the chamber, as soon as it loses contact with the inside of the chamber it falls free. So I start looking at the extractor and there is a huge gap when a empty case is slid underneath of it. There is no way that it will hold on to it, let alone doing it while shaking the slide gently. So now to the question. What is the trick to getting the firing pin safety plunger out on a series 80? I feel like I need to bend the extractor slightly for more tension but that darn plunger won't come out.
