Buzz64 Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 Been shooting a SS 12 for three years now. Had my first problem this past weekend at the white Flyer Open at Claythorne lodge in Kansas. On station 5, it failed to eject the first hull. Removed the following shell, pried out the hull and reloaded. Fired the first shell and same thing, fired shell was still in the chamber. Now I looked more closely and saw the extractor had snapped off even with the bolt face. Now going through the drill to try to find another extractor - think Mann and Son's has the parts but all I'm getting is busy signals. Anybody else ever have the extractor snap in half?? Love the SS. BTW, about 11K rounds through it and this is the ONLY problem I've had. Quote
Buzz64 Posted March 30, 2009 Author Posted March 30, 2009 Guess all it took was to say the phone was busy...Got them and they have the extractor, spring and roll pins in stock! Now to see how my gunsmithing abilities are...(yeah, I ordered two just in case ) Quote
Buzz64 Posted April 6, 2009 Author Posted April 6, 2009 Gunsmith I'm not, . Off-set pin to get out. Ended up taking to a gunsmith in KC. Took him 5 minutes with the right tools. Back in the game. BTW, Mann and Son was super fast (3 days from call to receipt) in getting me the parts. Quote
Matt D Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 Which gunsmith did you use in KC? I am looking for someone to do some finish work on a WWI Smith 1917. Quote
Buzz64 Posted April 7, 2009 Author Posted April 7, 2009 Mike Allee 5606 Johnson Dr. Mission, KS 66202 913-722-6606 Little hole in the wall place but knew what he was doing with the Benelli bolt. This is the only dealings I've had with him but I'd go back. Quote
timb99 Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 Mike Allee is one of the best in the KC Metro area. If I can't fix it myself, I take it to Mike. Quote
