You can try to pinch the collar a little, but if you rotate the extractor to the bottom it should just push off. Getting it back ON will be the bugger where you need to pinch the collar to get it on. Brownells sells a cheap little tool that is great for this. Typically I can get 90% of mauser extractors on without it... occasionally they are stubborn.
If it works, I would leave it. Its original. It works. Do I need to say more
I'm running a batch of Mexican Mauser extractors after I get done with this batch of DSM safeties. If I can get the prints (if he has them) from Mr. Simpson, I will see about run a batch.
I would be interested in some of those as well. It is good to have parts on hand and it is not uncommon for the extractors to break and sometimes they are missing.
