Identification

Notes on the extractor are still at the bench

Identification notes are written one part at a time, from pieces Butch has had in hand — so this section fills in as he works through the vocabulary rather than all at once. If you are trying to identify a extractor you already own, he answers those directly at butch@butchsantiquegunparts.com.

How the mechanism works

Plates & drawings

9 plates

Original patent drawings for this mechanism, filed by the people who designed it, with every component called out and numbered. They are grouped by how the part works rather than by which arm it came off — the classification that put them here names the mechanism and says nothing about the gun.

Will it fit

No interchange recorded yet

Butch Schoeller writes these notes only from parts he has handled. A blank section means nothing has been checked yet — not that everything fits.

Availability

Nothing of this type is listed at the moment. Most of this catalog is one-of-a-kind, so stock turns over item by item rather than being restocked — posting a wanted listing is the reliable route, and aggregated requests are what tell Butch which parts to make next.
