Repair Cooey extractor

If you decide to remove it and try to tweak it, be very careful. It is easy to break them.
Anyone tried Western Gun Parts recently?

They have a minimum $30 charge I believe.
Not sure what they are worth, but maybe a group buy?
I've had them refuse sending me parts as they figured I wasn't gunsmithing 'nuff
to be able to re'n're A-5 internals.
But, but, butt I can.
 
The reproduction extractors were brittle and easily snapped when being installed, be careful installing one. I have 1 left in my tickle trunk, not parting with it either. Not sure who may have some on hand anymore.
 
I am in for at least 6 or 8.

I probably have 6 or 7 bolts missing extractors.

I am still trying to figure out how to put them in the bolt without breaking them.

I have stocks and parts for the 82s and and need some barreled actions in 75 or 82s as I have bolts.
 
Looking for a couple for Cooey 75s. A dimensioned drawing or photograph/scan with scale would be helpful also!

Anybody know the material- spring steel, or mild steel, etc.?
 
If you have a weak extractor it can sometimes be reshaped and hardened again ( doesn't work all the time ,but worth a try ). Check the hook on the extractor as well ,they get worn down. You can improve/renew/deepen the angle of the hook by a careful application of a very fine cutting wheel on a dremmel tool. Check the hole in the bolt where the stud of the extractor fits, and make sure it is not full of crud in the bottom (holding the ext. away from the bolt). It doesn't hurt to take a few thou. off the bottom of the stud just on principles anyway. One other thing I have done is to silver solder a broken extractor and re heat treat it . Likely more by good luck than anything else, but it did work and is still ok. Hope some of this helps a bit....catnip. PS. twenty or so years ago a local gun shop had 100 of the last original cooey extractors, and had the awful price of $2 each on them. Isn't hindsight great?
