I though though that I'd seen somewhere the extractor had an oval shape to it where the hinge pin went, tipping it as it started the ejection process?
If any one can show you this it will be DD

Nice buck shot by your GD DD - no wonder you're proud!

Yes that is how it works, I will try to get some photos. The last time I had it apart there were not enough curse words in my vocabulary to explain the problems I had reassembling it. I am use to the German easy assemble Martinis. Another point, Martini has become a generic name for tipping block actions, the main improvement Martini made to the Peabody was installing a coil spring powered striker. Many “Martinis “ have an internal hammer, powered by a v spring, striking a firing pin.
