It's supposed to be that way…

"I just received my extractor and it appears there is a defect in machining on it."

We may receive this complaint/question more than any other. The good news is though - its supposed to be there and is actually an additional step that we take to improve the design of the part.

What are they referring to? There is a small radius that we machine on the bottom edge of each of our extractors (shown in picture above). At first glance, it may look like a defect as it looks completely different than anything found on the factory part.

We intentionally machine this area on all of our Exact Edge Extractors for the MKII, MKIII, MK IV, and 10/22. This "beveled edge" that is machined onto the extractor improves feeding and reliability. It will eliminate any issues with the bottom edge of the extractor catching on the next round as it feeds up from the magazine.

This isn't an issue that you would always see but the way we see it is if it happens once, that is one too many times.

Did you know that all of our Exact Edge Extractors are wire EDM cut from A2 tool steel? The combination of the wire EDM process and the A2 tool steel gives us the best of both worlds - unmatched precision with a hardness of 53-55 Rc. We are so confident in our extractors being manufactured through this process that they come with a lifetime warranty.

Not only do we offer the extractor for the above mentioned Ruger firearms but we also offer a complete line of extractors for the following:

• S&W M&P 15-22
• S&W Victory 22
• S&W Model 41
• Remington 597
• Remington 870/1100
• Walther P22

Nothing slows you down more than a failure to extract! Make sure you are ready to go and order yours today!
