My extractor seems a tad soft, as I would expect if the ejector spring was weak or partially broken.
Can anyone who has taken out the extractor and spring coach me? I just got this gun, did a basic disassembly and cleaning and the extractor seemed a bit weaker than my other M37. I cycled some snap-caps through it and they seemed to work acceptably, but not as well as Femaru #1. (It's 21 degrees here today, I won't live fire for a while.)
Previously I had made an attempt at removing the pivot pin in Femaru #1, and the pin was reluctant, enough that I gave up rather than pound and do damage. I have the Marstar disassembly information and that looks straight forward--turn slide upside down and tap out the pin. My tools should be right for the job. I'm presently soaking the pin with penetrating oil.
Am I overlooking something? My search for someone with an ejector spring turned up nothing but it doesn't look like there is much to the spring and something could be adapted.
Thanks Rmasters3@fuse.net
