I ordered a EGW HD extractor and had a few questions about the fitting process.
I started off my making sure everything fit at the rear (firing pin stop). Then I tried to tension it to where it would just hold a round in place against the breech face. I could not tension it enough to touch the case so I removed some material from the area show in red to allow the claw to set deeper into the breech. It took a good bit of material to get it to fit right. I have hand cycled several magazines through it and it seems to be working fine. My main question is did I do anything worng by removing that material? Everything I have seen says to just tension it. I haven't shot it yet but wanted yalls input before I did. Thanks.

Well, Just noticed something. The extractor claw seems to be holding in the extracted case not the belly of the extractor.. The claw is so long that the rim of the case cannot ride in the belly of the extractor. For 45, I have seen that this is not recommended. Any advise?

Dress the tip of the hook down until the rim contacts the belly of the extractor. |
