I was at the range recently and had lots of stovepipe issues. I was using old ammo given to me by my neighbor and assumed it was the source of the problem.
I read the posts on here and ordered the Volquartsen part this morning. I then went on You Tube as suggested to see how to replace it.
I pulled the bolt out of my rifle and discovered I do not have one!!! No extractor, no follower or spring!
Can I buy a spring and follower from S&W without sending them the rifle?
And.... I have never disassembled the bolt or cleaned the rifle beyond wiping out the breach and bolt and running a bore snake thru the barrel!
Thanks for some advice...

Contact S&W Customer Support. Explain that you need a replacement extractor, plunger, and spring. Emphasize that you would rather not send the rifle back, and feel you can put the extractor in yourself.
As far as cleaning the bolt; depending on how much you shoot, make sure that the front face of the bolt is relatively free of carbon, specially in the area where the base of the round sits.
I regularly clean the bolt rail and bolt guide slots.
Cheers!
