I remove and clean my extractor each time I clean the weapon.

You can’t go wrong if you follow the -10 Operators Manual and use that as you guideline.

What's the -10 manual, is that the military TM manual?

Quib, you have to be careful. Alot of people didn't pay attention in basic or on active duty. They have no clue what a -10 is in anything.
