Tom Bullweed Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 I shoot a Stoeger 20-ga sxs coachgun occasionally. The ejector was damaged by a previous owner. I ordered a new one from a well-known source and got a 12-ga extractor in a 20-ga marked baggy. I e-mailed them of the dilemma and they said that they would send another. And they did; another 12-ga extractor in a 20-ga marked bag. They said that it had to be fitted by a gunsmith, but every dimension is 5-15% too big. I work in precision metal fabrication and know better. My offer: my two new 12-ga extractors for one new 20-ga extractor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Bullweed Posted May 31, 2021 Author Share Posted May 31, 2021 I will not modify these. Every dim is too big and would require removing material deeper than the hardened zone. The heat-treat on these seems to only to surface hardness since the parts are somewhat pliable. If I can't find the right part, I will just retire this gun from matches. I have peened the existing extractor about as much as I am willing to go but half of the hulls on one side are bypassed by the extractor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
