Throckmorton,23149 Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 The tip of the extractor is gone on my trusty Wild bunch shooter, a Norinco 1911 a1. Does anyone know if a Colt ,or generic 'Colt' extractor will fit ? Also, are extractors a 'drop in' ,or do they need 'tuning?' thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G W Wade Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Should fit, but you could need tuning. Adjusting tension and some chamfering, polishing will make things more harmonious. That applies to all 1911, not just Norinco. GW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Maybe-Norinco specs are a bit 'off' from the rest. Get one here-You will have to most likly set the tension on any extractor you buy. https://www.brownells.com/handgun-parts/action-parts/extractor-parts/extractors/1911-extractor-prod20695.aspx How to 'tune' one. https://www.m1911.org/technic2.htm OLG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Throckmorton,23149 Posted August 18, 2018 Author Share Posted August 18, 2018 several online owner's said they take std. 'GI' parts, are GI parts pre-70? or is 70 seris = to 'GI' parts. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 The tech folks at Brownells should be able to confirm fitment. OLG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goatneck Clem Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 I tune Lots of 1911's for Wild Bunch and bullseye competition. Yes, the extractor will work in your 1911. When I replace a new extractor I tune it to that pistol. Using the correct amount of lbs of tension, this is done with a gauge, for the extractor and recutting the surface angle. This gives better extraction for the Brass and increases extractor life. With that said some times a drop in extractor will work reasonably good without fitting.
