Looking for some help with a Falling Block Works

I recently acquired a small Falling Block Works action (model K I believe) that I hope to build a wildcat on (either 22 hornet or 218 Bee as basis).  The only thing missing on the action is the extractor.  Does anyone know where I might purchase one or have an accurate set of dimensions that I could use to build my own?  Any help or insights you might about these actions is greatly appreciated.

thanks,
Jason

Steve Durren has worked on mine   Johnson's Gun Shop in Adrian MI.
Just a tip----stick to rimmed cartridges--mine was for rimless (17 mach IV/ now 17 fireball) and even with a VERY talented gunsmith working on it it is very finicky.  If I wasn't already to invested in the rimless case I'd switch over to the rimmed version of the 223 for the parent case

Jason,
The info Jack gave is current info. If you call them they have parts as they are still selling new actions. I always buy an extra extractor with each new action I buy. The price was $8.00 for the last ones I got in June.
Hope this helps
