Revival Time, hallelujah. last post 21 months ago, lol.
I own a newer model 60SS and after a ton of rounds fired the action was getting stiff so i decided to break it down and clean it, let me say that my problem that occurred after i cleaned it was self induced and thanks to this forum i was able to realize my mistake and correct the problem.
Here's how it went, when i took it apart i noticed the extractor spring kept falling out of the groove so i decided to tweak it and when doing so i made it flat down tight to the receiver block, I done this not knowing that it was suppose to be bent up and that is what extracted the empty cases, so after i got it all cleaned up i put it away, then one day when i took it out to shoot it i was getting an FTE, the empty case was staying on the bolt face and not extracting, i couldn't figure out what was going on till i found this thread and seen the posts and pictures talking about and showing how that spring is suppose to be bent up, soon as i read it i remembered what i had done, long story short i bent the extractor spring back up and fixed my problem.
Thanks for this thread.
