Miller, it would be interesting to know the serial numbers on the barrels of this H grade, and whether they are original to the gun. I have several Lefevers with extractors that will just fall out, including at least one with the guide pin. But none of them require any flexing of the extractor to get it to come past any sort of stop.
I learned about this during some moments of panic when I didn't notice that the extractor fell out of an early pivot lever gun while cleaning it, and it bounced under my workbench.
