Enfield Extractor

**jjackman** · 09-25-2007 09:48 PM

Can someone lend me some help. I've got an Enfield that wont extract a spent casing after being fired. I think I've lost a spring as the extractor just flops arround loose.

Can anyone tell me if that's all my problem is and where I can get a replacement from? Pictures for clarification.

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

You are missing the extractor spring. Installation can be a pain!

I second that, something is truly not right and disassembly will be a bit tricky. A bench block with screw down and mighty good pin punches may well be in order-HTH-SDH

bit of a pain re-installing the spring.

Pliers are a must and somethign to clamp up the bolt helps.

I don't have any spare extractor springs in my small stockpile of parts right now etiher

Are the extractor springs the same on all enfields or are their different springs depending on the model?

**rgg_7** · 10-01-2007 07:59 PM

They are different. SMLE's (generally referenced as No1's) are quite different from the No4's. All No4's are the same.

I sent you a PM on this 10/01/07
