jmspain Posted November 20, 2002 Share Posted November 20, 2002 Does AFTEC Make and extractor for a Para P-16. I recently tried to order one but the shop called back and said AFTEC did not make them for Para's. I am just wondering why when the extractor is listed by caliber rather than gun manf.?

jkmccoy Posted November 20, 2002 Share Posted November 20, 2002 Aftec does not make a series 80 extractor, so if the firing pin safety is still in place you cannot install an Aftec in a Para. I tried to install an Aftec in my Para (.45) a couple of years ago. It would NOT work properly. After much fiddling and many failures to extract I finally contacted Aftec. They told me that the Para is the reason Aftec does not make a series 80 extractor. Apparently the location of the extractor tunnel in Para slides is slightly different than the location on other makes. Aftec did tell me that there is considerable variation among Para slides and some might work OK. They also said that Dave Dawson modifies Para slides so that an Aftec extractor will work.

Jon Merricks Posted November 20, 2002 Share Posted November 20, 2002 I had an Aftec in mine and it ran 100%. All I did was have an EGW oversized firing pin stop fitted and there was no problems. Just have a good gunsmith install it and you should not have any problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3quartertime Posted November 20, 2002 Share Posted November 20, 2002 Dittos on what Jon said. I put an aftec in my 16-40 this spring. Fitted it myself from the instuctions and used a stock para stop. I did find a crack in the stop recently, but it had 30,000+ on it so I don't blame the extractor. As stated before I don't count rounds shot but I would guess 10,000 maybe more. Zero problems.
