Milspec Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 (edited) Has anyone noticed their extractor tension lightening up a small amount after you put some shells through the gun? Like maybe the first 100-200 or so? Perhaps its just breaking and the spring taking an initial set. One of my bolt heads has noticeably less extractor tension than a new bolt head that I compared it to. I don't think it's cause for alarm but I can notice a distinct difference. I'm wondering if there is something else at play here besides break in. Edited March 15, 2022 by Milspec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doge Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 My guess is manufacturing tolerances and the fact a roll pin isn’t exactly circular. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CobraBG Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 I haven't noticed it myself. I don't have a new one to compare it to though. Have you had any FTE issues? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No FTE issues yet. It was just noticeable pushing on the extractor with finger pressure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
