I have an 1887 by dominion arms. The extractors are pretty worn and have started to FTE. When the guns cold it still works. But once she heats up I need a ram rod to knock out the casing. Has this happened to anyone else? Does anyone have any advice to fix this or replace the part?

For parts , you should try Western gun parts in Edmonton or Numrich gun parts in the states.

If you need a ramrod to knock out the case, maybe the problem is the shell expanding too much in the chamber. Try some different brands of ammo and see if they all do it. Or is the extractor clearly not grabbing the rim of the case?

Along this line, my first thought was a sticky chamber.
Clean it out with a good oil dissolving solvent on a spinning, tight fitting bore brush.

When I had one of these it didn’t like shells with large crimps on the end. It liked slugs or I think it was estate buckshot as it had a clear plastic cap on the end as opposed to a folded crimp.
I had it fully cleaned. I've tried all sorts of brands and shell with high and low brass. First few shots is fine, but after it warms up it stops extracting. There is visible wear marks on the extractors. I'll give western a shot. Thanks guys!
