Where to buy extractor?
I'm needing a slightly longer extractor than what my gun has. The rod is about 1/4 inch too short and doesn't lift the shells out enough for my liking. It doesn't make for a quick reload. I could take it to a machine shop and have a small section added but it would be nice to find an original.
I have looked everywhere trying to find parts but have not had any luck. Are there any websites someone could recommend? Thanks |
I have a number of extractors on hand. But the gauge and frame size of the gun is a big variable. I would also need to know the length of yours now as to figure on the target length to look for.
For yours to be 1/4" short, it must have been modified from it's original state. There is not really a need to make a new one, building up the end with weld and re-shaping to the desired length would do the trick. |
Mine is a 12ga Trojan with a no2 frame

Well, you don't get any more common than that.
I just sampled the lengths of about a half dozen that I have here and they vary from 2.90-2.93" in length from the face of the extractor to the end of the shaft. If you decide you need a replacement, get in touch with me. |
Keep in mind that there is a physical/mechanical limitation to how long the extractor rod can be. Adding too much length to the extractor rod could make the barrels not being able to close & lock up.

What Brian said, as always.. Thanks Brian

Take the extractor out of the barrels, place it against the breech face, and see how much gap there is between the end of the extractor and the part of the roll that contacts it to lift the shells. This will tell you if there is anything to be gained by lengthening the end of the extractor, or even if you can do it. You may not be able to do it at all for I am holding a frame in my hand right now with the extractor against the breech face, and it is a perfectly flush fit on both ends. It is a hand fitted piece. Now when a Parker is open there appears to be play for one can move the extractor back and forth making one think he can make it longer, but not so if the barrels are closed based on how it fits apart.

Here’s a pic of how far they extract

Maybe it was a selling point for if one did not like to pull shells manually or had trouble, the next gun they purchased had ejectors. Just like options on a car, where the money was made. It is said Parker as well as Fox lost money on their entry level guns like the Trojan and Sterlingworth when they first entered the cheaper gun market to compete. |

This one is a 1927. I figure they would’ve had the kinks worked out by then. I’ve got a few LC Smiths and they all push the shells out further than this. I’ve already examined the extractor and there’s room to spare. It doesn’t look to have been modified. Strange |
