	The chamber can be sleeved and rechambered. The extractor may have to be built up with weld and machined back to the correct shape. It can be put right.

	I took the gun with me to the Clubs indoor pistol range tonight. I figured something out. If after I open the lever I give it one more hard down pull and then ease up the ejector snap foreword. It makes a sound somewhat like a martini International when it ejects. Still had to pull them out with my fingernail but nothing stuck in the chamber even eley tenex. I put a couple of pieces of tape up and shot a couple of 5 shot groups off hand. This is at 50' and my off hand is a bit off but I'm reasonably happy with the way the gun is handling. Here is a picture of 2 cases extracted from the rifle and you could see how the back of the rim flows at an angle. Also the 2 groups I shot offhand.

	Do as was suggested earlier and just line the chamber and rechamber. Lee Gibbs Pres.ASSRA

Lee Gibbs Pres.ASSRA Im.going to take it outdoors in good light today at 50 yards with a variety of ammo. If I can get it to group acceptably I'll leave it alone an accept its idiosyncrasies. I have CPA's ,Martini's and Ballard .22 match rifles when I get serious.this one I just need to function properly for walking varmint hunting.the main issue is I figured out the extractor problem.

	Since the chamber and rim recess un-attenuated by the extractor seems "ok/normal", why not simply fill in the entire extractor recess, face everything flat/flush, and then recut it to support the cartridge rim fully? Or am I missing something here? Where on the rim does the firing pin impact?

Or am I missing something here? Where on the rim does the firing pin impact? Rim hits top of case. I had thought about seeing if I could flip the extractor over( as it is symmetrical I believe)and reccutting the recess without the radius. Not a bad idea.
