I've done some looking around already. My late production (1990s) Win 94 AE just developed an intermittent failure to extract. I want to remove the extractor and clean under it, but so far all the videos and such either don't address bolt disassembly or they're wrong for my particular Winchester.
My bolt, unlike what everyone seems to be saying, does not let the firing pin out. It's captured. Other than the one roll pin holding in the ejector, there are none. There are two tiny screws on the bottom of the bolt, and those presumably hold the extractor in, which, I assume, also somehow captures the firing pin in the bolt. The two tiny screws look as though they make be staked ("ring crimped" if you will) in place, like a military primer. Are they?
Who has direct experience with this exact bolt?
The extractor *looks* perfectly fine, it's worked flawlessly since I bought the gun new, but now it needs something, I know not what.
(also, as there seems to be regular confusion on this matter, even among experienced shooters; I am talking about the EXTRACTOR [hooky thingy what pulls case from chamber] and NOT the ejector [plunger dealy-o what throws case clear of gun])
