Any fellow armorers know or remember if there is any significance of the small number on the extractors? I noticed my well used 21SF has a small chip on the extractor. I have two other extractors in my Glock parts bins. They have the number "3" and "11" on them. The original extractor has a "10" on it. I see no visual differences between the extractors other than the small raised number. My manuals are at work and I'm at home.  I replaced the chipped extractor with the "11" one and put 70 rounds through it with no problems. If anyone has any input, thanks in advance! |
| I believe the numbers your seeing on your original and replacement Factory extractors is the original casting-mold numbers, depending on the age of manufacture. As long are your replacement is correct for the model and seems to be working fine, I wouldn't sweat it further. Good luck. |

If anyone has any input, thanks in advance! The small numbers are either tool numbers (which cavity produced the part) or revision numbers. On an extractor, I'm almost positive that is just a cavity number. Zero significance to you unless you want to know which part of the mold produced it. |
