Extractor out of specs?
Examining my brand new SA Loaded, I noticed that Ed Brown HC extractor is bit too long comparing the original Springfield part. When I tried to fit the EB part, its tip just aligned with the front end of extractor cutout in the slide. It is not protruding, but it just touches the rear end of barrel.
Interestingly, I used the very same EB extractor before in my other Springfield (Mil-Spec) and it fited there just fine, so does the original Springfield extractor from the SA Mil-Spec. Both of these are the same lenght, and both are longer then the extractor from new SA Loaded (which on the other hand fits just fine to the Loaded slide). Also, the EB part is loose in the extractor funnel, so it is falling out when firing pin stop is not in place.
Hope it is not too confusing.... Now, I wanted to ask about solution, I prefer to use the Ed Brown HC extractor. Should I just file the tip, so it will not touch the rear end of barrel? Does not matter that the extractor hook is further away from the breech face than the original part?
Your advices will be very appreciated.
Thanks,
