This evening i will put a couple of rounds in my double and hopefully it will hold, so if this tread stopps here you now why.

After half a day trying to set the barrels straight I messed it up anyway. I tought that the hole for the extractor was in center of the lump and in an angle with the action but apparently it was not. Merkel from the mid -70 is not a precisionbuilt peace of art thats for sure.

Anyway the extractor had some disc turned out and soldered into place and is now fitted to the barrels. Sorry for the crappy focus on the picture but it was in the middle of the night and I took at least 20 in different settings on the camera (its my garagecamera so its old).
But the bright spotts where the black is rubbed of are almost visible. This blackening and scrapening/filing/stonig sure is fun.
