I have a very old H&A side by side.  The extractor just barley pushes out a spent shell.  Cannot remove spent shell even by finger nail. Was considering welding more steel onto the end of the extractor rod to push the spent shell out further, but it looks like that won't work, by not allowing the fore grip to lock into place.  I simulated this using a small piece of wood.

So now it looks like there may be an extractor Spring missing?  Cannot tell.

Any constructive help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Brad
