Yes, loosened screws and slid it.... and a hole appears....

Can you send another photo but one that shows more of what it is mounted on as I am trying to find it in the Identification List.

Heres a few photos, i can get clearer ones if needed tommorrow as its pitch black in the barn. Its on the main gun body on the right side (standing behind it) just under the ID plate. The other user was right... if i slide it there is a hole underneath.. These photos taken from the top side, barrel goes directly out infront of me. You can just see the extractor claw release external lever in these photos.

That's the cover over the extractor spindle.

Brad Deckard · #5 02-11-17, 21:10

Is it simply to remove the spindle? what do the letters mean?

Sure, if you can get further photos that would be great.

I have found the item in the line drawings but it appears not to have been documented in the Identification List.

Brad Deckard · #8 03-11-17, 21:34

Thats interesting, But if its just a cover then why not be plain and look like a cover..? why all the holes , letters, and the slot?
