    How to replace an M17 extractor

    Does anyone have any photo's ( step by step if possible) or videos on how to put on/replace an extractor on an Eddystone M17 bolt. I bought the extractor but do not want to damage it by being clumsy or forcing it. The bolt is complete apart from that. Any advice appreciated

    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.

    The ejector is located in the bolt stop that releases the bolt from receiver. Here's a complete disassembly guide. Pertinent steps are #60-65, then #91-97

    Very simple, Rotate the extractor to the bottom of the bolt until it's free of the groove. Yes, you'll have to slightly force it out but with rotational force only. Once it's free of the groove push or lightly tap the extractor from the rear, forward off the bolt.
    Reassembly is in the reverse, but You'll have to force the extractor back on to the bolt body. It'll be apparent to you, use a piece of wood to gently pry the extractor over the bolt face.
