Whose Extractor Did I Break?

I think it's an EGW. It's got that "brace" square to and near the firing pin retainer slot. It's dished out on either side of the brace.

Gotta love inventing new and unique ways to break things.

Looks exactly like the one I've had in my Trojan for about 30,000 rounds. Not sure of the brand name.

Erik...

if it is..call George..I know he loves to see how things break so he can make them better.

No Dude, you've got to love taking better photos!!!! I can't tell for sure but it looks like a series 80 extractor.

Just buy any of the name brand extractors. I've had good and bad luck with all of them keeping tension, breaking, etc... The fitting and tuning are more important than the brand (as long as it's a quality part.)

Hi all,

I have 2 in my collection that broke at the ser 80 cut out, hard to tell from the photo. we have a "staff" scientist now that does or analasis and we would like to see the part regardless of who's it is. if it is ours we will cheerfully replace it free.

I would always recomend ser 70 if you are not using the ser 80 mech.

Erik,

I'm guessing sights just aren't interesting to break anymore?

It's an Ed Brown; I checked my Brownells order history. I'm sorry for suggesting it's an EGW, George, but I mostly buy your parts. I should have done so with this part, which I estimate lasted just under a year.

So that dished out area if for the Series 80 firing pin block?

I think the spare I put in is an EGW.

DOH! Cleaning my gun today I discovered my new extractor is hitting my barrel. I must have shot 500-1000 rounds with it. I filed the extractor and did the blue Sharpie trick and all seems well. I hope I didn't stress the extractor.
