I understand the (long) no dash and -1 extractors for both the Mod 39 and Mod 52 wore prone to breakage, and are literally impossible to replace of broken.
1st, Is the Mod 52 extractor exactly the same part as the 39?
2nd, Does any one know of a source of extractors? Can they be manufactured by a reasonably accomplished machinist?
What has been the actual breakage rate? 2%, 5%, 10%, 20%, (best guess or hard information please).
(Should I buy a 52-1 with a long ejector at a reasonable price, or will be be reverted to "parts" if the extractor breaks.?)
Thank you.
