Thanks for the reply SWT. Do you know the purpose of the detent and spring? Just curious because it doesn't seem to serve any purpose except for holding the extractor and I thought that was what the side screw was for.
The side screw is the retainer. The detent and spring are what allows the extractor to pop back into position when you turn it back up. It also performs the same duty when you rotate it to the side. It holds it in place.
