[52] Repairing the Extractor on an Antique Carcano Rifle: A Journey of Frustration and Dread 

Nice save on the extractor. If you fed the cartridges into the chamber and closed the bolt it would be very difficult to close the bolt and chances are you'd bend the extractor like it was before you fixed it. I went to the range without a clip and fed the cartridges into the chamber and tried to close the bolt and I had to hammer the bolt closed with my hand. I'd bet if I did that a few times my extractor would be like your bent one. Thanks for the video on removing the bolt from the bolt body. Very easy to understand. When I had to pound the bolt closed I was worried that I'd have to remove it. Again, thanks for the video.

You got there 👍

Ironically this is not considered an Antique in America.

Get yourself an ultrasonic cleaner.
