Best AR-15 Extractor???

[HiCapMag]

Had a great time shooting in Poplarville today..... and I also sheered off the extractor on my AR.

Any suggestions for a replacement???

Thanks

i haven't had any issues with any AR extractor as of yet... i'd say, get some random "mil spec" and use it til it dies.

My lay understanding is extractors are all pretty much the same. Better a busted extractor than a broken bolt, imo. Maybe order a couple extra to keep on hand. Was chamber dirty or oily causing labored extraction? Timing issue perhaps? High round count rifle?

Any "mil-spec" extractor will do, you might want to consider a new spring also. or a kit similar to this. http://www.bravocompanyusa.com/BCM-SOPMOD-Bolt-Upgrade-Rebuild-Kit-p/bcm bolt upgrade kit.htm

Thanks folks.
It seems that most parts are generic mil-spec and I was wondering if there was an AR extractor similar to Wilson Combat Bulletproof extractors for 45's .

Midway had Les Bear extractors so I got two... We shall see.

I hate it when my gun stuff breaks

Oh, and that BCM is a way better deal.... By the way, one is apparently supposed to replace all those parts in that BCM kit every 2 to 5k rounds per John Paul.... I kinda forgot about that.

If it breaks and you run quality stuff, it just means you run your platforms hard and get some great trigger time! Way to go!

I have run WAY WAY WAY past 5k in my AR with no parts being changed! I may have just jinxed myself for the next Viking Tactical Street Fighter Class!Guess I'll be taking a spare to switch out parts should it happen.

Have to backorder this, but it's the best spring I'm aware of.

S2 is considered the best/most durable material for that application. I'm not sure who uses it. Colt milspec is fine.
