Replacing extractor on Marushin Kar98

Hey all, anyone who owns a Marushin Kar98 might discover after a while that when retracting the bolt to extract the shell, the shells may not be extracting as expected. What I did to rectify this problem was to replace the extractor on the bolt which is made out of plastic with a real extractor from a K98 bolt. It fits fine with a tiny bit of effort to place it on the bolt extractor collar. You may have to work the bolt in the receiver a few times back and forth but after that everything seems to work fine. Also, there are alot of complaints regarding the real K98 strippers not fitting in this rifle. With a very fine file, you can file the reciever down a tiny bit to allow the stippers to fit. You will not be able to tell this was done by looking at the reciever and the real strippers work wonderfully.
