'Preston' - $375 for a nice Krag (and a family heirloom to boot) is a great price!

Wow, I've never had a problem with the small extractor spring on a Krag. Did the part break or just come off the extractor-body?

That spring is a tight fit into the extractor-body and is not intended to be disassembled. (Somebody probably took it off at sometime).

FWIW - You may just want to get a complete extractor with spring attached.

'movieman630' has the extractor-spring for $10 or the complete extractor with spring for $25. You can also find complete extractors even cheaper, from time to time, on ebay and at gun shows.

If your spring actually broke, there is a small access hole to drive the remaining part out of the extractor body.
