Hi all, This answer is weird. Winchester in Oct. 1943 had the following problems: Oct. "Extractors breaking and much time spent in testing and examining Extractors." What's odd is there is a report that in June Winchester Extractors were giving problems in the endurance tests!! It seems is strange that this problem came up so late into Winchester's production run. http://www.garandm1rifle.com http://www.users.fast.net/~eclancy Thanks again for taking the time to open and read this Clancy |

Makes you wonder why they would not just get extractors from a competitor when they were working on the same project
