First let me say that I am not impressed with this plastic wonder from REM. But that's just me. To each his own.
I installed a customer supplied Volquartson extractor and hammer in this 597 and now it won't completely return to battery every time, most of the time but not everytime. If I push the bolt forward after each shot it fires every time so I suspect the new extractor is the issue. I have installed these extractors before with no problems.
So, what is going on. Do I need to install a slightly heavier recoil spring, a lighter extractor spring or is there something else going on I'm unaware of. If a heavier or lighter spring is called for, do I get it from Volquartson or Wolff or where?
