terrydoc Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 (edited) Hi Guys Have lost all tension on my extractor and am looking for a video of how to pull the slide apart and find out what is wrong also need to know what parts maybe required to sort out the issues. Found Alma Cole's video's on youtube, Whatever has happened is preventing the button being depressed enough to remove the backplate. Thanks Terry Edited January 6, 2019 by terrydoc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ddc Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 (edited) It takes a fair amount of pressure to depress the head of that pin. I use a roll pin punch as the small ball at the end fits into the recess in the pin and reduces slippage possibilities. (No hammer necessary, just hand pressure!) If it is truly locked up then that sounds like something is broken internally binding it up. You might try working in some light weight lubricant from the extractor end of the mechanism. If it was just extremely dry in there that might help break things loose. Edited January 7, 2019 by ddc clarification Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrydoc Posted January 9, 2019 Author Share Posted January 9, 2019 Applied plenty of pressure with nothing happening, the extractor wiggles like a kids loose tooth, have sent it back to the importer who is in my city , hopefully they have the parts that maybe required.

There are four parts to that assembly: extractor, extractor pin, extractor spring, extractor spring pin. The extractor pin transfers force from the extractor spring to the extractor. If that pin or the spring was broken/defective so that no force was applied then the extractor would wiggle like that. I'm trying to visualize how anything broken in that area would prevent the extractor spring pin from being depressed. Perhaps if a small bit of spring broke off and is jammed between the spring pin and the channel it rides in....just guessing here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrydoc Posted January 10, 2019 Author Share Posted January 10, 2019 My thoughts are similar in that whatever has broken is preventing that being depressed, hopefully wont take too long and hope the importer has the correct parts to get it running again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terrydoc Posted February 8, 2019 Author Share Posted February 8, 2019 See other post today, I sent the gun back and their gunsmith couldn't budge it either so they are replacing the gun for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
