Does the roller pin also act as the extractor retainer? thanks
Forum: Single Shot Guns
I have disassembled the firearm. I have had the extractor out and it appears as though there is nothing wrong with it. The retaining pin is missing though.. I do not see what actuates the extractor...
Forum: Single Shot Guns
The extractor appears to be intact. I believe the retaining pin is one thing that is missing. What is the "extractor activator" mentioned in the Numrich link? Thanks

Any one have any experience finding the source of an air leak on a FX Cyclone??
