I am seeing signs of the extractor starting to fatigue, I just haven't gotten around to replacing/repairing it. Excess of 10k rds through it. I posted a thread 'Evidence of extractor failure" or something like that with pics of brass marking showing up forward of the ejection port. I was just thinking I see people going for the BCM kit but nobody talks about the extractor pin spring.

No need to replace pin unless yours is damaged.

I could swear this is asking if you could use the pin again. The BCM extractor kit includes the spring, extractor, and a "pin" though. Even though you don't "need" to replace the pin, might as well, being kit comes with one. I think replacing the spring would be almost as valuable as the extractor. Bolt upgrade. Or you could go the cheap route and just find a extractor and spring. BCM doesn't offer that option however.
