They're around, just not common. I see one or two per year on ebay.

I have one as well, works great, it is pretty much exactly the right tool for the job no less, simple and effective. When I get into my gun room tonight I'll try to remember to snap a picture of mine. Whatever you do, do not use a firing pin to try to force the extractor back, I watched a fellow reenactor do this a few years back and he broke the f/p and didn't manage to move the extractor. Use the right tool for the job, always.

Best regards,

Crash,

That's the tool for the job, the tangs go under the rollers and the pin fits neatly into the hole on the extractor, relieves the pressure from the extractor plunger spring. Works like a charm.

Good luck!

Oh, and replace your extractor springs if you haven't done so already, they are inexpensive and will save you from tossing your extractor out the ejection port when firing.
