Hello all,

I have a 7x57 Oberndorf Mauser with a chipped extractor. Looks like someone didn't understand the whole "controlled feed" concept.

Anyway, the chip is large enough to affect function, unfortunately. Also unfortunately, the extractor is numbered to the rifle.

I was just going to switch extractors for now, but ideally, I'd like to find a way to use the original.

Has anyone successfully repaired an extractor chip? Any way to do so? Micro-welding and filing?

I'm going to guess that the spring steel temper is going to make that difficult :/

Advice?
