August West, SASS #45079

Seems like the extractor lasts practically forever. Fouling accumulation under the extractor, however, can make it unreliable in a few years, or less depending on the loads one uses and the coating (or not) on the bullets used. So, I've had to remove the extractor periodically to clean the channel beneath it and, once you're that far into it, usually changed the extractor at that time. But, not always.

Can you be specific about where it is breaking? At the pivot? At the tip? Along the "spring"?

If you do windows too, you're my huckleberry -- in a strictly Platonic sense.
