Something DEFINATELY wrong somewhere......... The extractor stay, being spring loaded and riding in a tapering slot should/will always be under load and impart that load onto the extractor that is never free to free itself from the breech block. Oh well..........
If you are coming to the war & Peace show in July at Folkstone Racecourse. I will be there with my Armourers Display, working 'In the Field'. If you (Or any forum Members/Friends/Collegues) are attending & need some help or Technical assistance. I will be located to the Far RIGHT of Fort Bastion (As you are looking at it from the front) All correct tools, Gauges, equipment Etc. Will be there to effect repairs & Modifications where possible. 17-21st July. :thup:
That may be the problem Peter, some of these post 95 deactivated Brens have that slot ground off. So to really screw things up, they remove the piston (Fair enough) and then weld up or slot the thread. They grind off the track for the extractor, grind down the piston post and sometimes they butcher the carrier by cutting through one side or by partially cutting both sides to weaken it. And to top it off, its not always done neatly like an engineer would, they just attack with a grinder and it just looks like a childs work.Quote:
