M3/m3a1 Or Valkyre (semi) Extractor......(?).


Recommended Posts

A little off-topic, but does anyone have a photo that they can "post" (or e-mail me) of a .45 ACP Valkyre (?-spelling) semi-only "Extractor" (?).

 

I received a spare round-extractor in some spare-parts, that is about the same length as a standard M3/M3A1 extractor, but has a squared-cut at a slightly different angle on the extractor.

 

I don't need this extractor (and my camera won't allow me to take a close enough photo to "post" to determine what it is), but I would like to find out what it is, and then sell/trade it to someone who can use it.

 

If someone can post a photo of a Valkyre semi-only extractor.....it would help me out.

Thanks in advance.

Regards, RichardS in MI.

Hey Blanksguy!

The Valkyrie semi-M-3 uses the same extractor that the US Army M-3 Grease-guns used.

I broke mine, and replaced it with an original WWII era govt.issue M-3 extractor......

Until I found an original extractor, I cut and adapted the broken one to work, sort of what the 'VC' would have done in the rice patties in Viet Nam. It worked!......till I got the replacement. :) Chu Hoi!

I changed the broken extractor out of a buddy's Valkyrie semi greaser. I used a GI unit, and I had to file or grind something to make it fit. It was few years ago, so I can't remember exactly what had to be fitted, but it didn't take more than a minute. I feel that the guns should have a relief milled/cut next to the chamber area, so that the extractor doesn't hit the steel face every time the bolt closes. The semi's seem to be famous for breaking extractors...
