extractor issues

I was just wondering if this extractor issue was ever solved. I also have a Springfield loaded model that I bought used which had an AFTEC extractor in it. I replaced it with an Ed Brown and had the problem of the extractor dinging the forward angle in the fired case extractor grooves, even after considerable stock removal on the end of the extractor. I replaced that extractor with a Wilson and although it does not ding as much, it still does.

Howdy and welcome aboard.

Wow...Talk about reviving a long-dead thread! Good one to bright back to the top though. I had occasion to wonder where this one was a couple of days ago, and hadn't had the time to start searching.

Yep. The gun is fixed. Jammer Fed-exed the whole top end of the gun to me shortly after the date of the last post before yours. I altered the nose of the extractor to provide the clearance that it needed, set the tension, and ...if I remember correctly...installed an EGW firing pin stop with a small radius on the bottom corner. Not sure on that last point, though...Jammer?

Anyway...Jammer provided follow-up reports via PM and E-mail, and to the best of my knowledge, the problem is history.
