At five stand, skeet and trap I open and close the gun more smoothly.... All of that being said, in my case the rim of the extractor was okay, but the "channel" that the extractor traveled in for and aft in the barrels had wallowed out a little...Kirk Merrington fixed it easily, but until I could get the gun to him, I put a large dose of high viscosity "blue" grease in there, and it seemed to help.

That was another thought I had but was not certain, but sounds like a logical wear area. BTW what is the mechanical fix for that wear area. I can think of a few ways but don't know what would be the best.
