removal of broken extractor rod

[50 target]

I don't believe I have seen it mentioned but I would suggest when working with this cylinder problem that you keep the cylinder full of empty cases to protect that extractor from getting twisted when working with it. I agree that a good machinist will be your best bet when trying to get that last part out. They have precision tools and most of them have a lot of experience with broken screws, etc. Kroll is excellent stuff but it is slow so be patient. Good luck.

I'm thinking that I've been wrong about some of my comments. Presumably the cylinder was opened by pushing the thumbpiece forward - otherwise it would still be in the frame. This means that the centerpin is free to move, maybe 3/16" or so.

I'll add some more to this later.
