You know, you can always just send it to me, I'll do it, then send it back.
I've been thinking I should just go ahead and send you my (the wife's actually) oldest, worst M&P 9 to do your experimenting on. Is that something you'd still be up for?
The welding up extractor (& ejector) is actually on a Kel-Tec PF9 that is my project gun. So hellishly unreliable with failures to extract (in spite of a trip to the factory, new slide, new frame, new barrel, new extractor) that I could never sell it in good conscience and I'm not going to take a chop saw to it so I'm learning on it. It's slide cycle is very violent, the barrel tilt is radical, the extractor engagement is weak and the ejector hits the case in the wrong spot so it is as likely to reinsert the empty case into the chamber as to kick it out.
I had my brother in law (a structural welder turned engineer) weld a bunch of extra meat onto an extractor and I hand filed it into a no slop part with a larger hook that turned the Kel-Tec into a controlled round feeder but over filed one dimension and when he tried to TIG up a little more meat it got too melty so I'm starting over. The sheet metal ejector did not enjoy being welded on. The good news is I have a small stack of extractors and ejectors to fiddle with for a $20 bill.
It's tedious but I'm learning a lot about fitting parts by hand on a gun that has dirt cheap parts and if something gets screwed up I don't cry.
