Seeker Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Hello, I have a Kimber Super Match II with the Infamous Swartz safety. I wanted to remove the extractor to clean the channel, however after removing the Firing pin stop, firing pin and spring, the extractor will come about half way out and no more. Do I need to remove the rear site and complete Swartz FP block? Thanks, Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregJ Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Here's a great article, also look at Pt II. http://forums.1911forum.com/showthread.php?t=332483&highlight=kimber+remove+extractor Note step 9, you will need to push the firing pin block with your finger nail while keeping pressure on the firing pin. If you dont do this, you'll be looking for the FP and spring somewhere on the other side of the garage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeker Posted September 14, 2011 Author Share Posted September 14, 2011 Thanks Greg. I followed the instructions and the extractor was removed. Based on the amount of crud, it's easy to see why it was a bit reluctant. I launched the firing pin a few months ago while changing the the firing pin spring. I now use an empty cardboard box as a pin catcher. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baileyj925 Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 I just spin the extractor after I get it started, and it clears and comes right out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
