You would need to talk to Patrick Hernandez who is an expert on these rifles, you can find him on the French Forum on Gunboards.com

Thanks! Haven't visited that forum in a coon's age. This and two other non milsurp forums are about the extent of my surfing the net lately.

You are correct, the extractor can be driven straight out from the front with a brass drift. Perhaps some support at the thinnest part of the extractor if you think it is prudent. Best. Tom

Thanks for the info and photos! Makes life much easier. If I could quit shooting IHMSA for a session or two, would have range reports on some rifles.

Vive le Berthier!
Cleaned the rust out of the chamber which was much worse than the bore and finally(!) made it to the rifle range (with something other than long range handguns) to test fire.
Worked just fine with the replacement extractor.
No serious target work yet, but the battle sights were pretty close at 100yds using Prvi Partisan ammo.
