Argentine R/B 'lateral' extractor?

[RonB740]

Can anyone provide a clue how this part is installed?

I could disassemble my full length rifle to see, but would hate to have both my 1879's torn apart if I can avoid it.

Thanks for any ideas.

Hi There,

Welcome to the Group!

I'm a little confused by the wording of your post. First off, let me
make sure that I know what model of Rolling Block you have. Does
your rifle have the octagon section of barrel over the chamber area
(sometimes referred to as a knocksform) stamped with "Modelo
Argentino 1879 E. N."? If so, that model has a 'type 4' frame and
uses a rotary extractor.

Good Luck!
