22 caliber dummy launchers

[Carl]

A machinist could probably make the part needed.

Rick,
If I only knew of one. []

I've heard there is one on the DHBP but he's retired and I don't know if he's still worth a darn.......

I hear ya Dave. My question about the extractor was because I was merely curious about the parts availability for something like that. I love and hate when I get guns that act like your dummy launcher because there are defects that cause deformation of cartridge cases during firing. It often creates for interesting discussion in the office....but I hate it when it is my case that I have to get multiple tests from so I do understand the frustration.

Ejectors can be had on over/unders as well. They don't release until the firearm is almost fully opened. Whereas an extractor rises as the action is opened.

I have (or had) guns with extractors, ejectors and both. But... what I'm saying is that the extractor on my dummy launcher used to eject the blank fairly smartly into the air if you popped the launcher open.

How about this. Might even be able to use it on the 4th of July, or training day will be like the 4th

Mark,
Thanks, I've been checking with Gundogsupply for a while now and the Retriev-r-trainer has been shown as out of stock. I just checked again, and the basic launcher is still out of stock. They did, however, have a bundle with loads and dummy for more money. I didn't need yet another dummy and the loads will eventually be used, so I went ahead and placed an order.
Have you been getting any fishing in?

I've got one of the basic handheld models and it does what I need. Even knocked a few hand thrown dummies out of the tree they were stuck in. I get my blanks at the hardware store and a good bit cheaper than what most gun dog stores ask. All I ever use are greens and yellows. If you buy a foam dummy you'll get at least 50% longer flight than with the canvas dummies.

Dave by chance have you been using the yellow nail gun loads thru your launcher instead of the standard yellow launcher load. I remember reading years ago when I bought my launcher that they advised against using the nail gun loads as they could damage gun. Could be why it stretched extractor?

I've got a few hundred green and yellow "nail blanks" in brass cases through mine with no I'll effects that I can see. That's all I've shot through mine actually.
