extractor pin/bolt issue
First let me say hi as i am new here and thanks for this info.
Short story 2 rifles same batch, mine works great no problems. but the other one has ejection problems and does it all the time no matter what ammo you feed it, so i took both apart to see what the difference was, found the extractor pin on the problem rifle to be to tall where it graps the rim ( rim diameter can be .682mm-.692mm fedral ammo ) the .692mm has no issuses ejecting, but the smaller rim does as the extractor pin cant hold on to the smaller rim. it is not the extractor pin that is at fualt, its the bolt as they cut it to high where the extactor pin sits, as when i took mine apart both pins were the same size shape. after i messed around with the pin it was ejecting alot better, ( bullets ejecting across the room instead of you turning the rifle sideways and shaking to get them out) so the true test will be to take it out and fire it, when i do i will let you all know how it goes.

This is a latest spec. of 15-22 extractor kit (a spring, an extractor and a retaining pin).
While the extractor (left) remains same, apparently S&W has add an anti rotation tab to the new extractor retaining pin (middle).
The old extractor retaining pin is on the far right.
The new exctractor retaining pin (with anti-rotation tab) compares to the older one.
I asked XXX if they know anything in relationship to serial number or star on the back of the manual.
But no one would know for sure but only said this is the latest spec.
Anyone have the images from this post? I'm trying to make sure the used rifle I just picked up has been updated.
Thanks!
