| Is it feasible to run a Hard Chrome extractor with steel case ammo? Or would you have to change the whole or bolt and carrier? I shoot a lot of SC and was just thinking about it after seeing the Smith HC extractor in Brownells. Thanks |
| I do carry a spare extractor in my parts kit. Along with af ew other parts. The HC extractor was about twice the price of a reg one in the brownells cat. I havent priced extractors at the gun shows. I want to say I paid around 12 or 15 for the last one. That was a while ago. I put the new one in and kept the old one as a spare. |
| Yep, it looks like extractors are running anywhere from $15 to over $35 on Brownells.com. I'd just buy one or two ofthese and call it good. $30 a kit, but you get the extractor, the proper spring and insert, an o-ring, and a set of gas rings––all good quality. |

Other things will likely fail first, and still not be due to the steel cased fodder. |
