Title: Re: Chafee Reese - Magazine Rifle Trials

Figured it out. 
The extractor has an extension which fits into the bar that actuates the magazine.  The extractor is fastened to the bolt by a bar along the top.  This bar has, what appears to be, a release lever on top of it. 

The bar and lever are held to the bolt body with a pin.  I simply drove out that pin and the whole thing came apart.

I gather the release thing is supposed to, well, release this assembly without removing the pin but I don’t see how.

Anyway, with the extractor off, I simply placed it inside the magazine actuator bar and reassembled.  Everything seems to be working fine now.  Looks like someone else had it apart and just didn’t put it back together correctly.

Nothing wakes ya up like taking tools to a multi-thousand dollar rifle!
