Where to buy extractor?

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.

Looks normal for an extractor gun. Do the test I told you about to remove all doubt that anything can be done. Only have to remove one screw to get the extractor out and set it on the receiver.

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

Kinks were worked out when they hit the market in 1912. No kinks in them. The parts are numbered to the gun. Check the serial number on the extractor. Should show the last three digits. Maybe not original to the gun. Measure and buy another from Brian if yours is not up to his measurements, if it is, add metal and file away. You can get a perfect fit then, just lay it on the receiver and have it touch the roll when finished filing, keeping the angle of the original.
