he!!o new yank here from KY, USA.

I bought an Ishapore in .303 years ago and finally decided to do something with it. It sat back in my closet and between neglect and the cosmoline, I had a lot of work to do.

So in the process of break down and cleaning for rebluing. I snapped the extractor spring. I must say this is a weak design point.

About 15 minutes of lathe and drill press work, I had a twisted wire coil spring installed and machined out a spring keeper.

I'll post some pics soon.

Worlks great see picks.   I don't think this new coil spring will ever need replaced no matter how many times it is taken apart.
