    A Springfield WHAT? There are several MFG's that use the Springield name. And many models.
    We're really going to need more info. Model number, caliber etc.

    Must be a 22 as I've never heard of any other Springfield being unreliable.

    Yeah, probably a Savage/Stevens/Springfield Model 6 variant. (which BTW are very reliable if cared for properly). But how can we know for sure to give tech advise? Sometimes I'm amazed at some of these questions. It's like calling a mechanic and saying "My car won't start. What's wrong w/it?"
    Gonna need more info than that Bubba.

    Low # '03 was my guess, but it's only that at this point. If it is, just push out on the extractor claw while pushing forward from the back of extractor. It should slide right off.

    Note he said "extractor (s)" as in plural. Which is why I went towards the old Savage made .22 semi auto's.

    I like playing 20 questions and not getting any response.

    Who knows? The man may be at work, or may be a little gun shy after some of our responses. Let's cut the man some slack.

    Guessing it's a bolt-action .22, the extractors generally have a small plunger, spring loaded, to keep the extractor engaged with the cartridge rim. Take a teeny screwdriver or similar tool and push the pin back into the bolt which takes the spring load off of the extractor, and the extractor can be lifted out. Some extractors have a pin thru them on which they pivot, so in that case you have to punch out the pin.

    Good luck,
