Also, if you remove the barrels and then manually pull the extractor out, does it have any downward movement like your guide pin may be bent?
Meaning that the further the ectractor extends, it keeps dropping lower away from the shell?
There is a set screw that retains the extractor guide rod/pin from fully coming out, this screw can be backed off to allow the extractor to be removed, and then you could check for straigtness of the rod/pin.

yeah, I pulled it out it looks very straight. It moved freely with finger, etc.

If any thing, there is a bit of side-to-side movement once it's out. It's like the shell sticks or something, but once the extractor was out, very little pressure to remove it, and it fit in other tube just fine too. I am gonna try the lighter RSt's in it. Although, this gun should be fine with 1165 1oz loads imho.
