Matt Griffin Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 So I'm practicing my heart out for nationals, and I just noticed that my extractor has snapped one of its arms. Brownells doesn't seem to carry the part, where can I get one of these babies overnighted? H. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revopop Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 I think Carmoney would say that this is what you get when you unethically "practice". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasond Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Just out of curiousity, will a new part change the timing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nashvillebill Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 My 625-8 is down to 4 unbroken extractor arms and is still working fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmoney Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 yeah, I was just going to point out the fact that it should continue to work fine. I wouldn't be changing anything this close to the big show..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopalong Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Matt, I ran my 625 with two broken arms for almost 2 years (as a test, after I broke them) and It worked fine. Good luck, kick Carmoneys ass. Hop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mooney Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 I'll be there with two broken arms as well. Been like that for at least a year now, would only affect Auto-rim (I would think...) and see no point in fixing something that still goes well. I'm just glad I'm shooting my primary gun again. It was a LONG couple of months getting used to the backup (thanks RGS!) without being able to change the sights due to the owner needing it for a match. They are changed now though . Much happier now. See some of yas in just about a week (I'm on squad 1)... Mooney (Greg) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmoney Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 OK, gotta ask.......how the heck are you guys breaking the arms off your extractors like that? I've never had one break, much less two! The only reason I can imagine is that somebody got way over-aggressive on an attempted chamfer job.

Matt Griffin Posted September 8, 2009 Author Share Posted September 8, 2009 Wellll . . . if I had to guess, it was me dicking around with the ejector trying to get it perfectly straight after I bent it by overtightening. (Next question: How the heck are you guys bending all these extractors?) I unscrewed/screwed the ejector rod twenty times or so testing the fit, and was just running it down finger-tight, but that was probably enough. No hitches on 200 rounds today, so I guess it is no big deal. H. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never had one break, much less two! The only reason I can imagine is that somebody got way over-aggressive on an attempted chamfer job. Guilty. Coupled with trying to eject a little too soon and hitting the recoil shield would be my guess. Whaddaya mean "attempted" chamfer job. It's not "attempted murder" when you have a corpse.

Oh hell, recoil sheild? About twenty times a night for the last four months. Revolvers are a miracle when it comes to digesting bad ammo, but they are delicate beasts in the grand scheme. H.

sensei Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Hello, i made a search about "timing" .... because, after 5 years (2004) yesterday i broken ONE arm of the star of the extractor of my 625-8 ..... Yes, i did an "aggressive" chamfer-job .... but he did the work for 5 years, and a lot of major matches (about 70.000 major-rounds). Now the question is: i have to change the extractor (anf re-fit the timing) .... or try to continue shoot with the old one (with the broken arm) ? ..... it's a good thing shooting with the old-broken extractor ? ... what's your impression about ? Thank you Luca Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Luca I shot mine down to 3 arms, never had a single problem. In fact, after I put in a new one, I started getting annoyed by the extra surface to catch the clip on the ejection. H.

Thank you Luca Luca, From what I have been following on the discussions, depending on where the extractor is broke, it should not hurt to keep using the "broken" part as long as the rounds in the cylinder keep the thing in time. As you are using the moonclips that should help a bit. Here I find most of the stuff I need through Numerich's . www.e-gunparts.com But I am not sure of his ability to ship over seas. The extractor runs about $40.00 US. later rdd/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sensei Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Ok, thank you guys. I don't have big problems to buy a new extractor here in Italy, (about 35-40 euro), ... my problem is to fit the new timing ... ...This afternoon i was trying to put a loaded clip, in the cylinder with the broken-arm .... and the clip DON'T go ! .... don't understand why Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
