TR, can you tell me where to find a picture of the old vs. new style extractor?

I have two guns apart and can't remember which one went with which bolt?
I have the bolts with their carriers and with the right guns but got the extractors mixed up, any help would be great.

Thanks, Dan

Sorry, I've been out of the office the last 3 days. The AR-10 (I'm assuming) extractor part number EA1025 has a newer small debris cut underneath the hook and a larger rim clearance. Other than that there have been a couple of small chages that are proprietary and I can't divulge them. I don't have a picture to show you comparing the 2 unfortunately.

Ok, maybe this will help.




The top one is the same in both pics, all I need to know is which is the older one?

The bottom one is the current version. You'll see a small relief cut on the rim of the extractor.
