Hi-power saga continues

[BigMike]

I got in New mags and the feeding problem went away and now it's got extracting problems. See pics of some nasty malfunctions. I'm going to pull it down for a deep cleaning but upon inspection, I can flex the extractor with just my fingers. Can I tweak it and tighten it up or just break down and pay through the nose for a new one.

Take it to Bob Simms in Palmetto he is good and usually very reasonable.

If that doesn't work try Danny at Gables Sporting Goods in Douglasville. I've let him work on lots of guns for me

Internal Extractor = older BHP--It might be worthwhile to re-tension or even replace the Extractor. FWIW, Shannon Jennings at Arrowhead Pawn in Jonesboro has some experience dealing with recalcitrant BHP's--HTH

I found a replacement at the tune of $100. I'm trying to convince dad it should probably be gone through with new springs at bare minimum.

Probably the way to go, no telling what else may have gotten "Tired" in the last several decades...

There is a pull gauge used to tension the extractor. With a micrometer, you can probably make one yourself.

Internal extractors can be a bit of work to get right, but work fine once set up corrctly.

BTW, is it jamming on firing, or just when cycling rounds?

When firing. I tried both new mags and 115g and 147 gr ammo to try to eliminate other factors. The extractor tension is weak. I put an extractor in a 1911 and tuned it by feel with a shell casing with good results.

I wish, but the one I'm working on has an internal extractor.
