well now that i got the gun to feed ammo properly it doesn't eject the cartridges most of the time. upon closer inspection the extractor is definitely damaged.
there's a V-shaped chunk of metal that looks to have been taken out square in the middle of the extractor and it appears that it may also be cracked. you've really got to get close to it to see the damage but it's there. i am hesitant to take it back to SLGS because i can't prove that it was sold to me with a bad extractor and don't want to make that claim if i am not %100 sure about it. it very well may have broken after i had them check it out the day i bought it.
i also am not sure if sig will work on it as i've polished up the feed ramp myself so that it will feed correctly. sig also has this to say about the warranty on the mosquito specifically:
does anyone have any tips or suggestions? i would like to just get the part and do the work myself if at all possible but i don't know if that is within my realm of know-how.
it appears in the manual ( http://www.sauer-waffen.de/uploads/media/MOSQUITO_03gb_08.pdf ) on page #27 that once i remove the safety on the slide that i should be able to drop the whole assembly out and i'd have access to the firing pin assembly and the extractor. can anyone help me out with deciphering the exploded diagram?
aaron you still want to buy it?

SIGARMS warrants that the enclosed firearm was originally manufactured free of defects in material, workmanship and mechanical function. For the period of one year, SIGARMS agrees to correct any defect in the firearm for the original purchaser by repair, adjustment or replacement, at SIGARMS' option, with the same or comparable quality components (or by replacing the firearm at SIGARMS' option); provided, however, that the firearm is returned unloaded and freight prepaid to SIGARMS at 18 Industrial Drive, Exeter, NH 03833.
This one-year warranty is null and void if the firearm has been misused, damaged (by accident or otherwise), fired with handloaded, reloaded or improper ammunition, fired with an obstruction in the barrel, damaged through failure to provide reasonable and necessary maintenance as described in the manual accompanying the firearm, or if unauthorized repair or any alteration, including of a cosmetic nature, has been performed on the firearm. This one-year warranty does not apply to normal wear and tear of any parts.
Subject to the foregoing, this one-year warranty confers the right to have the covered firearm or its parts repaired, adjusted or replaced exclusively upon the original purchaser, which right is not transferable to any other person. No implied warranties of any kind are made herein and this warranty does not apply to any accessory items attached or appurtenant to the firearm.
In no event shall SIGARMS be liable for any incidental or consequential damages arising from or in connection with this limited warranty.
