    Unfortunately yes, we've got an '87 that myself and the boys use for fun sometimes in a match. But I can't say I'm overly fond of it.

    What extra requirements are involved to buy a pump or lever SG, compared to a SxS?

    Thank you very much Yul, that looks fantastic mate!!!!

    Is the law still in place, that makes owning a pump action SG all but impossible? 

    You have a fantastic family :excl:

    I've got the long spring from RPP in there from when you suggested it years ago while trialing the part. Do they now have an even longer one. I've actually gotten pretty good at putting that spring in! Although a couple more coils could change that quickly!

    They bought bulk springs from Wolff Gunsprings and cut them down.

    Call Wolff, they know the PN, and have them in stock. Price is very reasonable. 

    They went to the longer springs because they gave 2-3 o'clock ejection as opposed to 1 o'clock.

    I have one in both of our JM Marlins and they seem to work great. However, ejection is forward. I still haven't had a chance to try a new ejector as suggested by Lumpy to correct that issue. I did wear one out however in my rifle!!

    Use a longer coil spring.

    At least 3-4coils longer.

    It did not feed factory ammo. That is moot now as I got the extractor out and it feeds fine with it out.

    Wrap a section of 400 grit  wet or dry sandpaper, around a popsicle stick and lightly radius all the bottom edges of the claw/hook area on the extractor.

    Polish the bolt face.

    Clean out all crud in the extractor hole in the bolt.

    Good luck.....

    No, the extractor pin in the bolt won't budge. It is serrated  of course so I am not going to force it. The last two pictures are inconsequential, but they show a cartridge identical to Longhunters earlier pic of his cartridge. (COAL 1.495, truncated cone bullet). Thanks.

    Never had one that I could not remove. :huh: 

    Make sure the punch shaft diameter is under 1/16" diameter. 

    Have you tried from both the top and bottom of the bolt? 

    Will this rifle feed factory ammo?
