Where can I get a replacement extractor for a S&W 52-2? Not finding one offered at Brownells.

S&W 52-1 Extractor

Thanks, Bullseye. S&W had no remaining stock, but they pointed me to several other sources, and I bought an extractor, spring, and pin from Numrich.
Unfortunately, the new extractor has done nothing to solve the problem. At least 70% of the time, the fired shell remains in the chamber, and a new round, stripped from the magazine, gets jammmed against the base of the fired round. The type of ammo doesn't matter, either; Super X or Remington factory loads, or my own handloads all fail to extract reliably. However, if I work the slide manually, the chambered round never fails to extract. Other than this extraction problem, the 52-2 is in like new condition. There's nothing loose or sloppy anywhere.
The VT state championships are coming up up in a couple of weeks, and I'm getting worried that I might not be able to compete in the centerfire event. Any suggestions for repairing the extraction problem?
Thanks,
