Where can you buy the extractor springs with black inserts?

I am looking for someplace that I can get everything I need at 1 swoop.


Thanks

Ken Elmore at SAW sells the HD spring and black insert for $4.00:

Edit: These are factory Colt parts, not aftermarket.

I have a vague recollection that SAW Sales has (or at least used to have) a pretty substantial minimum order.

Model One Sales has a heavy duty extractor and black insert for $2 for the set. The latest RRA extractor inserts are black so any of the RRA dealers on the EE should be able to furnish. Georgia Precision has a small parts shipping rate.

Once again...

The color of the insert only indicates the strength of the spring that it is paired with.  The black insert itself is exactly the same as a blue one aside from the color.

I recommend getting a couple of Wolfe extractor springs, which seem to be more consistant, and reusing your existing insert.

And even if they were different, WHO CARES?  It wouldn't make any difference.

Edited to add:  I compared them again, there is a difference - I think the black ones taste better...

Hmmm, did I mention the sun officially set 18 November here, and won't officially rise for another month?
