Ithaca NID extractor issue.

It may look that way by the picture, but the edge of extractor is flush to chamber when in closed position.

I think I may have figured it out. There was some side to side play in the extractor, once it was clear of the barrel cuts it rested in. The set screw for the extractor, I tightened it down to where the extractor will open, but it no longer allows for that side to side play. It's not wobbly at all now, this may have corrected it.... The question is, how long til it works loose again I guess.

Maybe this is clearer. Now that I have tightened that screw though, there is no play when the extractors are extended like there used to be.

Joe,
Brian has a good point, that extractor should have the full serial number or the last 3 stamped on the backside or on the guide pin. I would have to double check one to remember where they’re stamped.
Or maybe you have already thought to check this?

[Joe from MO]

I did not notice any serial numbers on the extractor itself. The barrels, reviever, wood, forend iron, etc all have serial numbers, but did not see them on extractor. Not that I have looked real hard. I don't remember seeing them on any of my previous NID's.

Joe,

I was incorrect on the extractor being numbered to the gun, the 2 NID’s that I checked are not numbered.
I checked an older Crass model and they were marked, but not with the serial, this was a part of a discussion here awhile back, what those #’s represent since they don’t match the guns serial number.
But back to the NID extractors, I’ve included a few pics of NID’s I checked and I believe they seem to fit somewhat tighter than the one you have. Don’t know for sure but it would seem a possibility that you may have a replacement extractor.

Ya, could be I guess, hoping that now that screw is tighter, and there is less play in it, they work fine....

A little update on my NID. After tightening up the set screw that holds the extractor in place, the gun worked flawlessly over the weekend on a quail hunt..... I guess it was just loose enough, that when one barrel was empty, it allowed too much play......

thanks all.
