Any opinions on this extractor for 7.62x39?
Website link is for the merchant. I could not find the product on manufacturers webpage. Then again, Tactical Ordnance may refer to a dozen companies (and I am not that knowledgeable). Reason for my asking, I have broken 2 PWS extractors. I know they will send another, and I would like to have a couple in my range bag. |

Op, Im sorry I have no comment on the extractor you are asking about.
However this concerns me as I have a new unfired PWS 7.62x39 upper. Has PWS told you why their extractors are breaking ? Have you looked into using a different bolt such as LMTs indistructable dual sprung extractor bolt ? What was the round count on the broken extractors ? |

Have you looked into using a different bolt such as LMTs indistructable dual sprung extractor bolt ? What was the round count on the broken extractors ? I'll get pictures up,later this week. I still have the broken extractors and I also have an lmt bolt for another upper. PWS said they had quality control issues specifically with the extractors. Why they sent me a second one that failed? I don't know. I've read many glowing posts of PWS, and I know they will make it right. Having 2 extractors fail does not instill a great deal of confidence. I hate for this upper to be a range toy, never to be run hard. One extractor failed on the first shot (brand new upper). The second extractor failed after 4 rounds. They are now sending me a new complete bolt. We will see. The PWS bolt design is proprietary, so the lmt will not work. The PWS extractor is not proprietary. That's why I am looking for more extractors. |

Sorry just got back to this thread.
I bought the PWS upper for the same reason based on their reputation and it being a long stroke piston system. Ive built several DI 7.62x39 uppers using the LMT bolt and they have been perfect with the right mags. I have recently heard of several PWS 7.62x39 extractors breaking. I hope the new bolt fixes it for you please post back the results. We bought three of the last run of 7.62x39 uppers so I'll be giving them a call on this. |

It's not compatible with my upper. Meaning when correctly assembled in the bolt carrier, it does not go into battery. I think I got a lemon. |
