Is it just me? 2nd extractor broke again

[Pukin Dog]

I have a 1875 Uberti 45 Colt and the case extractor (Is that what you call the rod on the side of the barrel that pushes out the case after firing?? ) keeps shearing off at the top!

I'm about to install the 3rd one in 2 years!  Guess I'll order 3 while I'm at it.

It's the ejector rod...

You may want to see if a machinist friend could make you one that's got beefier threads and re-thread the button.

Or - you may just want to buy three...

Are your shells difficult to extract?

If so - polish the inside of the cylinder chambers a bit and remove any roughness and deep machining marks.

Good Luck.

Vaya.

Scouts out!

Apparently its just me.  30 views and no body else has had the problem

It could just be that one gun. I had a gun like that. Things broke on it that never broke on others. It was just that way. Maybe you have one like that.

Nah P Dog - it's not just you.  I too have had to replace the ejector rods on my brace of '75s.  Got about 2 years out of the originals.  Should be good for at least one more year out the one's on it now.

Looks like I'll be ordering a few.

I'm going to have a machinist friend of my brothers try to thread the rod and tap the button, but I'm not too optomistic about it.

I sure like the honesty on the 1875 ...I had been thinking I needed one ........now I think I`ll stick to me 58`s and the boredom of never haveing to work on them ....
I do like the size and feel of the 75 ...maybe when USFA makes one .

...maybe when USFA makes one .

Good thinking. I'm waiting for them, too.
