    And also, I hope this guy is not using a reproduction extractor and is using a usgi extractor because there is no comparison.this is a reproduction extractor that lasted a whopping 9 rounds before it failed. If I were a betting man, where the guy in the video looks young, I bet the first thing he did was put an extra power recoil spring in his carbine and those do nothing but cause problems. I have never tried one but I have read thousands of times where people do and very rarely have good results with them. These carbines have been running for over 70 years without extra power springs, so I don't know why anyone would think they need them today

    As a young guy who has done that...I'll agree they're crap. Took the old one with me to the range and changed it out after the first few short strokes. Total waste of time.
