As some of you may know I have become obsessed with 1903 drill rifles. Well today while removing the barrel from my 4th drill rifle project, I proved I am a monumental IDIOT and may have to have my tools taken away.
Now for the lesson I learned today, you can not easily remove the barrel with the bolt closed. In my rush to get the barrel off I forgot to remove the bolt. Let the admonishment begin.

PS: the extractor is the weak point.

Ooops!!!!!
Who hasn't done that one?

Is the damage permanent, or can it be repaired?

Extractor is toast, the receiver seem to be fine a barrel screws right in. The threads right under the extractor cut are a little facaakta, but do not seem to be a problem.
