You probably know this, but I'll say it anyway - there are two different extractors for the M100, depending on serial number range.. Just FYI..

Redneck,

Thank you so much for telling me that. If I did know that, I forgot it. I'm pretty sure but not positive that I bought the extractor from Jack First. I hope I have the correct one. Is there an obvious way to tell if I have the right one?

(A sad update is my friend who I originally sold the rifle to and who I was planning to give it back to died suddenly this past Sunday morning. Cardiac arrest, probably a blood clot due to a recent difficult surgery. He was 64, which seems too young, especially to me! But I know his son, and if I can get the damn thing working the rifle will go to him.)

It's been a while since I worked with those - probably 7-8 years now.... I don't have any of the extractors left but I recall a slight difference in those if you place 'em side by side..

The S/N to note is 119,000... I originally obtained 'em from Gunpatch Parts Depot - and the part number for those above that S/N is #6300.. For 119,000 and below, it's part #1200..

Did Jack First ask you for the S/N of the rifle when you called?

Redneck,

Thank you for the reply. I honestly don't remember if Jack First asked me about S/N. This is one of those "back burner" things, and I bought the extractor a long time ago.

I can compare them side by side, and with the info you have given me about S/N number and part number, maybe I can find a part number on the envelope it came in (plus I sometime store receipts with the parts.)

I vaguely recall something about a difference, perhaps having to do with the countersunk hole that the spring loaded plunger pushed into in order to force the extractor to the "rest" position?

I hope this is the last M100 I ever have to deal with. Between it being one of my father's guns that I didn't like, and now my friend dying unexpectedly, I particularly want to be shed of this one!

Thats good info. If i remember Correctly, my old time smith (now retired) knew exactly which one i needed, since mine was a first year (early model) rifle.

Sorry to hear of your friends passing, but great gesture giving it to his son. Hope it works fine after the update.

I hope it works fine too. Thank you for the condolences about my friend.
Don't give me too much credit. My friend bought the rifle from me years ago. It isn't mine. In the "fog of divorce" I ended up with it. I don't know who it rightfully should go to, but I picked the person who bought it to start with. He unexpectedly passed. His son is the logical choice. All I would do is sell it or trade it, and that wouldn't be right.
