FN Hi Power extractor issues

[Rong]

I have a WWII era hi power that is having extraction issues. Anyone know a gunsmith that works on /tunes old hi powers?

Do you have an A or a B prefix serial number?

If so that's exactly what the Belguims planned......Just against the Nazis. They put bad extractors in them. Good enough to pass a function test but they were designed to fail in battle. All you have to do is find an internal extractor and replace it. They're not cheap but it should do the job just fine

Call Jerry Johnson. 260-693-1902 He is between Churubusco and Laotto just off 205.

He won't be overnight turnaround. Good gunsmiths are busy. He is very busy.

Have you posted your extractor problem on 1911forum.com ? They have a section on Hi Powers. Lost of good people who may be able to help.
