Got a buddy that screwed up the extractor on his Simson Drilling. It is chambered in .243 Winchester so it uses the spring loaded pin to extract the case. Without realizing it he slid a "reload" in the gun that wasn't properly resized and when the gun wouldn't close he said he "helped it" (lesson learned) and then when he got the gun closed he fired the round and couldn't get the gun open without a lot of "help". Upon gettin the gun open he noticed the extractor was badly bent.

We took the extractor off and it appears we are going to need to heat it to get it back to the correct shape, which brings me to the issue with the "Pin". There has to be a cross pin tha holds the spring loaded extractor pin in place. We have polished the extractor arm, tried some bluing and we cannot see the cross pin even under magnification. Talk about Craftsmanship!

Anyone have an idea on how to get the pin to show up so we can drive it out? Any help appreciated!

Thanks!

As long as it's polished up nice and bright , heat the area where the pin should be, but very slowly to a yellow to just turning brown.
The differences in the 2 metals (pin and the ejector itself) will usually turn slightly different shades and reveal the hidden pin (or what even assembly method).

You may loose the coil spring inside there that powers the ejector if you get it too hot, and that's easy to do with such a small part.
But a small spring is easy to replace if needed.
Keep the revealing temper color(s) below spring temper blue and the coil spring should be OK too.

WBLDon,
First insure it is not held in by a plug screw on the bottom or a threaded bushing at the top.

Using the "Blue tipwrench" to apply heat might do the trick, if you recognize the varying colors tool steels will show under heat- fine tip and a slightly lower oxygen pressure that you might use with a rosebud heating tip might do the trick- RWTF
