Hi,
my friend is experiencing the extractor spring failures. Two pieces already broke withing +-2000 rounds.

Is it common problem of the AR15 or something is wrong. Wolf ammo used.

Thank you

Is the extractor spring or the extractor breaking?

Extractor springs. Extractor itself looks to be in perfect condition.

You might want to let the experts in the Troubleshooting Forum take a crack at this.

You may want to try a D-fender/o-ring or Wolff extractor spring, but this could be a symptom of a larger problem so ask in the other forum. They are the experts.

Just ask the question in the troubleshooting forum and they will give you a better answer than I can.
