"Ok.this is a rather simple process,you can do it without special gadgets since
it is not a precision job.Take a small hardware bag and fill it with enough of
those Rainiers to the weight you're looking for.If you can double check with a
postage scale even better.Now loosely tie a thin strong thread around a spent cartridge extraction groove and attach it to the bag.
Insert the cartridge into the extractor claw and slowly lift the slide.
If you have never adjusted an extractor I can give you some tips just say so. "
Well, I'm pretty humble but though relatively intuitive I have questions about these instructions. First, "the weight your looking for" would be...what? Now with my string tied loosly around the case extractor groove and tied to the bag, I'm to "lift" the slide".
Lift in what direction. Is the thing disassembled at this time?
I'm imagining the assembled gun with this bag of weights tied to the extractor itself to see if it would bend at that weight. Not right? Then stick in the case, into the groove against the bolt, string attached, turn the gun on its side and lift to see if it releases the case? Am I getting close?
