Mossberg 500 ejectors

[RobertPAdams]

Hi all,
My Mossberg 500 extractors aren't ejecting the shells all the time.
What can i do about this?
I tried sharpening the extractor on the inside angle and bending them in a touch.

Worked for a while now same problem.
It seems the extractors are just really worn
Where can i order new ones?
Should i get a smithy to change them on the bolt?

Replacing these requires pounding out two pins. If you have the correct size punch, a hammer, and a solid surface to place the bolt on (e.g. a concrete floor, a bench vise, etc), then you should be able to handle this yourself. But it's a 5 minute job, if that, so should cost very little to have a local smith do it while you wait.
