Need help finding an extractor.

If it falls out by itself without the extractor it sounds as if the extractor is causing a bind by twisting or even too much spring tension. Use a Magic Marker on the bullet to see if there is a worn spot, then try the marker on the extractor mechanism. I'd call @SPDguns .

I'm starting to think I might be getting in over my head on this one. And being a 100 year old rifle made with unobtainium I'm hesitant to start filing anything. I may need to make that call.

It's gonna be the extractor spring and plunger all gooed up. Take it apart, clean it and put it back together. Or, soak it in penetrating oil, blast it with gun scrubber and compressed air.

Well, while it appeared to have been moving freely I went ahead and did as you suggested. I hosed it down with Gun Scrubber several times and blew it out with some air. It now moves much easier and also is moving further. It now appears to be extracting without binding. I've only tested about 10 shots but Every. Single. One. extracted perfectly.

THANK YOU!!

"do the maintenance"! Seems like a lot of folks send a lot of ammo down the tube with zero thought to cleaning. One of the Taurus 85's I got was a really crappy gritty trigger until I took it apart and cleaned it. It is a DA only and the trigger is butter now. One of my daughters has it and loves the thing .
