Thanks gents...
Rifleman, if by extractor you mean it has an extractor at the bottom of the chamber, basically catches the end of the shotshell casing & pulls it out of the chamber...then yes they are. Please excuse my iggnorance. BTW, aint gonna wrap the NEF around a tree, too much sentimental value. I worked & saved up money for this gun while I was in 7th grade. I took my first squirrel, rabbit, & grouse with it!
Though it was a dang funny comment & made me laugh!
Bill DeShivs, thanks for the advice. I haven't done what you said, but know that the firing pin does come all the way out & haven't seen any nicks or burrs on the tip of the firing pin. I will do as you say though. don't be suprised if I aint putting a 911 thread on here because I screwed it up!
