Rossi 92 extraction prob!!

[Paladin UK]

Ho pards.
Got me a little `head scratcher` here!!!

My 357`s extractor started to `ride` the shell rim rather than extract it!! Aha!! I thought its worn. I bought the gun 2nd hand and so I assumed that the extractor was worn. I bought and fitted a new one, fitted it and.... walla      IT STILL RIDES OVER THE RIM OF THE CASE  rather than extract it!!  When you look at the round sat in the bolt you can see the extractor IS sat slightly high on the rim!!

Sooooooo any ideas on how to effectivly Lower the extractor a tad so`s it can grab the case better!!

Check for crud buildup in the back of the barrel, where it is cutout for the tip of the extractor to go into, commonly referred to as the 'Gozinta'.

Also check to be sure that the bolt is closing fully.

Fer Goody.
Yep, checked all that first!!
I was wonnerin iffn I stoned an iddy bit off the underside of the extractor it would lower it a tad in the bolt??

I guess if that is what the problem was it would help. You might want to wait for some more intelligent folks then me to answer before you go removing any metal.

Well? 

Are you going to tell us what it was?

I assume 'Brill' is a good thing, yes?

And "chuffed"? What's up with that? 

I swear I wish you folks would speak English!

OK
Fer Goody.................The original extractor had `had its day`,

Sooooo  like I said, I fitted a new one which was riding high.

Effectivly I lowered the exractor into the bolt a bit at a time, using a very fine file, you have to leave a tad more metal on the `short end`  (After the hole), and just veeeeery slightly cold bend the the end with the extractor!!
and Walla Puk`s a happy cowboy!!

Brill............... Yep, a Very good thing

Chuffed...............`smug`..... self praised 

BTW...........I`m Irish But thats another story!!!

I was checking to see if you got the problem fixed because I have addressed this on several guns in my business. One of the things I we do is 92s.    If you have a problem please feel free to contact me.
