Title: extraction problem with 1006
Post by: jiminthe burg on July 07 2022 08:50:03 AM MDT
Last time I took my 1006 for some range therapy, I started with 10.2 grs of B/D under a 180 gr fmj w/ new  starline brass. First time I fired, had an extraction problem. Cleared it and ejected fine the next time. Then a fte again. Out of a full magazine, had several fte. I said maybe I got some bad brass and switched to some reloads which had been run thru a full size lee unit. Same problem with about ? a magazine of fte.
Last night, I took a good look at the extractor and noticed some "crud" under the part of the extractor which fits over the head of brass in the grove so this am, I cleaned that part of the extractor very well. Was using  a clean rag with a toothbrush and noticed  that rag was dirty after some cleaning. Then went to my shop and ran 18 loaded rounds with NO fte. Needless to say, I was very happy. It is surprising how the smallest amount of "crud" can cause a malfunction. Apparently, when cleaning the slide, I must have pushed some "crud" on to the ejector.
For sure, when I fire and clean the 1006 again, I will pay particular attention to the extractor and make sure it is clean.

Yep the springs are also something to consider for the extractors, these guns were built in 1990-1993 so those tiny springs could get weaker over time.
Wolff Gunsprings may have the replacements available. https://www.gunsprings.com/ (https://www.gunsprings.com/)
