Replacement No.1 MkIII enfield extractor spring too soft
Hello...........I purchased an extractor spring from Sarco this week and I thought the spring I would be getting was a surplus item. It turns out it had to be fitted and hardened. I knew I was in trouble when I was able to file it to lessen the width. Sure enough it is soft as butter. I will try to harden and temper with instructions here and all over the internet.
Is there any other fix other than the eraser or a piece of auto rubber to fix this temporary. These extractors are not cheap.............
Thank you,
Bob
