Cleaning an ar for my DIL.
Had a heck of a time getting the extractor out of thebolt assembly. Turns out there was no extractor spring, just an o-ring. First time this rifle has been disassembled since purchase.
WTF?

Put a Bravo Company Extractor spring and black bumper in there.
They also supply the "O" ring but they tell you, you wron't need it.
That's what I run in all my guns.

I think DPMS was using just a rubber bumper on their 308 extractors at one time. It had two diameters and one fit in the extractor pocket to keep it in place. I bought a couple of spares before they went out.
Don't see how just and o ring would not move around to some degree or move into the spring hole of the extractor.

Funny thing is the rifle ran flawlessly at the range.
Ordered a spring.
DIL wants me to just put it back together as is. Will do, but will stash the new spring JIC.

sprinco extra power springs are the way to go. Don't need to use the donut with those.
