Encore 209X50 - removal of breach plug

shaddownone · 08-04-2003, 10:24 PM

I got in a used Encore 209X50 barrel, How do I remove the extractor in order to remove the breach plug?

The breach plug looks fowled and I need to see what's behind it to avoid un-due corrosion.

Any help would be greatly appriciated...

pull the takedown pin from the bbl and the extractor will come out.
the bbl has to be removed inorder to take the breach plug out.

Take down pin?

Do you have a pic.

It isn't the hinge pin that holds the barrel in the receiver, The only other pin I see is a small pin in the block that is welded under the barrel. Is that it? just push it through?

:nod: There is a screw in the block that is welded to the barrel that holds the extractor in. Once removed, the extractor slid right out. Thanks Colt 45 for the direction.

I just learned how last week, when a guy bought one at our shop.

I'm guessing they would all be the same. I'll have to look on my centerfire barrel.
