Re: Enfield Conversion

Daryl,

You're correct, the gun did have an extractor. As you pivoted the breech block to the left at the extreme of its travel an extractor popped out in the bottom left-hand corner of the breech, it would have moved the case back about a sixteenth of an inch.

The only other thing I noticed was that the firing pin was not spring loaded, you had to manually retract it to open or close the breech block. I don't think this was simply a symptom of a broken or missing spring, it seemed to be part of the design and apparently accounted for the size and shape of the external part of the firing pin.
