you all didn't think i could go over a week without some kind of problem did you? Ah well i'm nearing completion but i ran into a problem on the very last thing that needs to be done. Once again springfield mil spec 1911 in stainless.
Everything is in and good to go except the extractor. When i test feed the gun; push on the back of the slide lightly without the recoil spring, like tuner suggests, the gun is smooth as butter. As soon as the extractor goes in, i get a lateral bind something fierce (i think lateral bind is the correct term). The cartrides at the rear will get pushed to the side by the extractor and the round will go caddy corner going into the chamer, catching everthing along the way (even puts scrapes on the case). This doesn't allow to go into battery at all easily.
Feeds great no extractor, terrible with extractor. Okay must be the tension, but i turned the OEM part for practice to the point that it had near no tension on the case and it still did it.
What it appears like is that the extractors are too long (springfield OEM part and a C&S aftermarket). The extractor claw seems to dig into the beveled part of the case extractor grove when the round is against the breechface. I tuned up the C&S part pretty good as per Tuner's instructions and everything measures out, but if i bevel the extractor more i won't have a hook left, or i'll have one that will break due to lack of material.
Sigh :banghead: , i was so close to completion. Any suggestions would be GREATLY apprecaited. I thinking i just need a shorter extractor. (any suggestions?)
PS i noticed i get less lateral bind with the oem part (it is slightly shorter then the C&S)
As always thanks in advance.
