Mauser extractor and magazine spring.
I have an commercial FN Mauser in 30-06 that is in need of some parts. Someone got spirited trying to fit a new extractor, not sure what happened to the original. I am looking for a source to buy a high quality extractor, much like the extractors that came on the commercial FN Mausers from the factory.

The other item I am trying to source is a magazine spring. I've ordered springs from Brownells and Numrich and the springs I received have a much larger radius's at the bends, reducing the magazine box capacity from 5 to 4 rounds. I can get the fifth round in the mag but it can't be pushed down far enough for the bolt to ride over it and there is too much pressure to allow the fifth round to feed from the magazine. If I use a factory spring from one of my other FN Mausers, everything works as it should.

That being said, can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance.

Brownells for new extractors; Sarco for original mag springs and they have extractors too. . Or Springfield Sporters but I think they are out of extractors.

The military followers are thicker also which reduces mag space, might double check that too.
