Well, today's range session brought sorrow.  My rifle suddenly completely failed to extract fired or live rounds.  A quick glance in the shade and I  could tell the extractor didn't look right.  When I got home it was obvious that the entire extractor lip is gone. I think I know the answer but is there any place that has such bits in stock?  I'm asking DPMS for a replacement under warranty but they show everything as out of stock.  It's going to suck to be out of commission for months waiting for this little piece.  I never could find anything in stock when I was parts shopping a while back either.







Are other .308 extractors compatible?





Never mind.  I suck at the Internet sometimes.



I've had about 500 rounds down the tube and I know I have heard that this is weak point in the bolt.  Is there a history on these parts breaking early?

Yup, I bought the whole bolt parts kit they sell.  Found it just after I asked.
