Very good point Phil and the comment was not directed at any other post. Whether PF or CRF, its the operator that can make things go bad in a hurray also.

Question, I've never had an ejector/extractor fail on either type of action or for that matter on a lever gun or pump. I've heard stories of broken extractors. How common is this? Phil, looking at your 458, it looks like its been here, there and everywhere, has this occurred or do you have a regular maintenece schedule to replace?
