Rossi/Legacy Puma extractor too tight...

[Messer]

Howdy all,

I have a new Puma rifle in .357. that I like a lot! It seems to be a great gun, but the one problem I can't get past is the effort needed to close the action.

At first I thought it was the ejector/spring/collar - but they seem good, I filed down the "hump" the spring rides over, and it's not bad. Once the gun was back together, I saw what the real problem is - as the extractor rides up the rim of the case, it takes a lot of effort - once it's snapped over the rim you can open/close the action with almost no effort.

So - how the heck do you lighten the power of the extractor?

Thanks for any help you can give.

Take care,
Bob S.
