[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Replacing AK Extractor question

Posted: 12/30/2009 2:19:49 PM EDT

I have a AK 74 that needs a new extractor and extractor spring.

Can I push out the extractor retainer pin to remove the extractor & extractor spring without having to remove the firing pin and the firing pin retainer pin first??

Thanks

No. The firing pin retaining pin also retains the the extractor axle.
