A MUST VIEW IF YOU OWN A MODEL 41 - PSA

[chief38]

Attention model 41 owner's: FORGED VOLQUARTSEN EXTRACTORS NOW AVAILABLE!

I guess enough of us have called Volquartsen and let them know we have been unsuccessful at acquiring them from the normal sources, and we need them produce forged Extractors for our beloved M41's. I spoke to Scott (at Volq.) a few times myself and he finally caved in and said they would do a special run. Anyway, they are doing this special run of them in a week and they are taking orders NOW! I ordered 3 for myself at $12.95 ea. today. If you own a M41 and want to have a few on hand to solve any possible extraction or jamming issues you might have now or in the future, - now's your chance! They may never make this part again, and S&W is too cheap to buy them from Volquartsen and install them from the Factory or stock them. The Factory stamped out Extractors just plain suck and eventually cause many of the problems with the M41.

So for all you guys that own the M41 - call Scott (or his secretary) and get 'em while you can......

And just to be precise, they are EDM wire cut, not forged.

Exact Edge Extractor for MKII, MKIII, MK IV, and 10/22 | Volquartsen Firearms
Note, this is for the 10/22 but the M41 was exactly the same specs.
The M41 part has been removed from their web site.

Whatever, still way better than the stamped S&W part, and why these are not sourced and installed at the S&W factory is a mystery to me !

10/22 and Mod 41 extractors may be the same alloy, heat treat and EDM process, but from the pics, they are different geometry and not interchangeable.
Mod 41 has to have Mod 41 extractor.
Just wanted to make that clear.

If the Ruger extractors were exactly the same, all the distributors would still have them available and Volquartsen would not be doing a special run.

Thanks for the heads-up...I'll be buying a couple.

Same material. Same process, different size / shape so WILL NOT FIT THE M41.

Thanks very much for the update. I never heard back from my original email conversation with Scott that started the previous thread, but I did send him a reply this morning that I wanted to order some and asked how to pay. If I get a link I will post it, if I don't hear anything by 10:00AM, I will call them directly.

Talked to lovely lady at Customer Service, order took less than 5 minutes, expected ship date is 2 weeks.

 

[chief38]

In actuality this was the perfect time for Volquartsen to run these - because of the current Corona Virus they probably aren't doing much else now. A win for them - - and a HUGE win for us!

 

[kleiss1]

She told me two weeks too.

 

[Rule3]

I believe that they used to make them in the past and then stopped.
Don't shoot my M41 enough to warrant getting any. Shoot my Rugers more often. Heck I even like the SW Victory almost as much. The 41 is a heavy sucker.

 

[Housepuss]

Just called Volquartsen, ordered 3 extractors. Was told production set to begin in about 2 weeks. Price $12.95 each and shipping was another $3.00

The whole process took less than 4 min. Great people to deal with.

 

[laytonj1]

Just ordered 4. Thanks for the info chief38!

Thanks for the heads up Chief! I called Volquartsen and ordered 6 from Scott.

 

[chief38]

It's also quite nice to know that SOME Company's actually listen to their Customer's.

 

[brosky]

I spoke to Scott via email and ordered several for myself and two for a friend. Glad that everyone jumped in on this and the other thread and we got them made again.

Stay safe and healthy fellow shooters....

M41

SO: what's the deal? Several people have said this "will NOT" fit the M41! Which is it? Tom
