[ARCHIVED THREAD] - just got me extractor out

Posted: 9/4/2005 7:19:44 PM EDT

Greetings all,

I just removed my extractor and noticed some kind of blue plastc looking thing in the middle of the
spring????
Its out of my dpms 11.5 in sbr that I have been having extraction problems with after only about 500 rounds down the pipe...

So do you have a question? Or are you just stating an observation?

try purchasing the d-fender or o-ring to cure your extraction woes. It seems to have helped some out on the board...

Yeah that is just the spring insert.

I don't see any plastic in the middle of my extractor springs.

You could also try Wolff extra power extractor spring.

DPMS barrels are chambered too tight but DPMS will not accept feedback from shooters, they will say it is fine. Wolf XP recoil spring, Wolf XP extractor spring, polish your chamber with some scotch brite pad on a brass rod in a drill, then find a brand of ammo that works and stick with that ammo only.

odd that they dont listen to feed back.
I will try these ideas out,I figure if i can do a 25 cent trigger
job on my glocks i can figure this out too

Yes.
It's a "Smurf".

They can be blue or black.
Replace your extractor spring and/or throw in a Crane O-ring.
It wouldn't hurt to replace the Ejector spring(often overlooked,
they Do break causing weak or failed ejections)
as well as the Ejector itself-Both are of minimimal cost.

i would try a new spring, wolf spring or a d-fender.

well did some polishing with a dremal, brass rod and some inprovisation of the chamber..seems like the extraction by hand is a little smoother and easier than before..will go to the range next week for more tests..i used the same stuff as i used on my glock polish job,and it looks like a mirror now..
I am still going to get some new springs from wolff just to be safe..
Has anyone used the IOR 3x25?????wondering what peoples thoughts were on it??
