Thanks John,
I did notice that it (the actual extractor) seemed to 'grind' or 'rub' excessively on the bolt. I noted some 'shiny' spots both on the extractor and the bolt where there may be some excessive wear/contact. As I mentioned, the extractor did not return to its full 'down' position from time to time although that was with 'fingering' it. Now it seems to be a bit more loose and always drops down. I have not fired many rounds through this 1300 and will have to see what the 'new parts' do to this issue.

In the meantime, as I did use a 'fine' stone to grind down a bit of each side (nothing to the hook) of the extractor and that might have helped because it moves more cleanly now and no half motions when fingering. I will try a few rounds through and see if it is working. Sure hope so as I like the shotgun and Knoxx combo and don't really want to trade/sell for an 870 (as fine as they are, I'd have to fork over more money for a new Knoxx/Blackhawk.

Thanks again.
