I saw the thread here but cant find it. I have a AR Pistola with a 7.5 barrel. You are supposed to put a different Oring on the extractor to help with cycling. What color Oring is the strongest one?

I just use your local hardware store number 60 Oring.  Are you having a problem with extraction?

I got the sopmod extractor upgrade from Bravo Company. It worked great.

I was an armorer for an infantry unit in the USMC and I can tell you 99% of the time double feeds  and jams of many kinds are simply weak extractor spring tension.  my thumb was " calibrated "
to tell if there was enuf extractor spring tension.
 I also got the bravo company extractor upgrade kit  ... chrome silicone spring  / black insert and black o ring.

guess what I couldnt even get the bolt reaSSEMBLED WITH THE O RING IN PLACE!

so i just used the chrome silicon spring with tiny black insert : result?
my thumb cant even budge the extractor the tension is so strong
and installation was easy.  later i fired about 220 rounds with zero failures.

extractor upgrade is a wise investment and cheap insurance.
