I was going to blast my slide and as I am about to take apart the slide I thought....this was not going to be bad, but then I realized.....

 

the extractor.....

 

Since this is not an easy part to remove, can I leave it on when I blast the slide?

 

Sights and Firing pin are easy..... but I know this extractor is beyond my abilities....

 

Advice, opinions?

What gun? need to remove the exratctor to do it right.

my M&P.....

 

and I am not comfortable removing it.... very small roll pin, that need to be beaten out...

Get a punch thats made for roll pins. Also get a spare roll pin because most pins are ruined upon removal.

If you have one of those small screwdriver sets you can probably stick the phillips in there and tap it right out. There is probably a spring on the one end so it may go sproing.

what kind of blast? I would beed blast it.

Well...... it looks like extractor removal is required..... guys also on the M&P board agree.....

 

might hold off...

he talks about taking out the extractor. What a pita. I've taken it out on other guns with no issue at all.

Mark..... Yeah.... watched that one earlier..... it is the 1 pain in the butt part to take apart on the M&P....

Cover it with clay..And do not blast above 40 psi..
