    Extractors

    Mods if this is the wrong section feel free to move.

    I have to ask.

    How many folks have seen a 2 peice welded extractor? Not just a grendel but any extractor that was a welded 2 peice part.

    I was always under the idea extractors were a 1 peice machined part. And after looking at mine (I have 6 bolts, 1 AA and 5 group buy bolts) every one of them is a one peice machined part.

    But after seeing so many people on the Facebook grendel thing and one guy straight up arguing with me that extractors he uses is 2 peice welded. I just had to double check mine and ask the members here if they have ever seen one.

    Are other company's useing substandard parts are something?

    I have never seen a 2-piece, in several of the AR15 style rifles/pistols I've seen or handled.
    (Correct me if I'm wrong) The extractor is made out of really hard tool steel, maybe Carpenter 58 or such, and as such does not lend itself to any welding.
    Don't know what those guys are talking about. Maybe if they posted some picture blow-ups so we could see them... otherwise just blowing smoke.
    Well..... I guess if you mean the spring vs the extractor body, that's 2 pieces.... but that would not be welded, so why make such a claim even like that?

      No he was clear it was the top claw section that was welded on his bolts that broke.

      I tryed to explain to him that no extractor is meant to be a 2 peice welded part, that they are a machined 1 peice part and either carpenter 58 steel or in the case of most grendel extractors s7 tool steel.

      I posted pics of some of mine. But I don't think it sunk in.

      Most of the people on that place seem lost.

      He didn't have pics of his broken extractors and wouldn't tell me who they were made by or where he got them from.

      Heck there is a bunch of guys on their that have short throat BCA barrels and they will argue with you that they are safe to shoot even though when they extract a round by hand the bullet gets pulled from the case.

        Hmmm. No pix. Sounds like it didn't happen then.

          Your probably right. I just thought I should ask. I mean I'm always willing to admit when I'm wrong but it just seem way to outside the norm.

          On a side note I found out why so many people on their break extractors and bolts.

          PM me if you want details on that. It's so crazy I'm afraid to openly post about it here.

                    FINALLY ... THE BLONDE JOKE TO END
                    ALL BLONDE JOKES!
                    A blonde woman was speeding down the
                    road in her little red sports car and was
                    pulled over by a woman police officer, who
                    was also a blonde.
                    The blonde cop asked to see the blondes
                    driver's license. She dug through her purse
                    and was getting progressively more agitated.
                    ''What does it look like?' she finally asked.
                    'The policewoman replied,, 'It's square and it
                    _has your picture on it.'
                    The driver finally found a square mirror in
                    her purse, looked at it and handed it to the
                    policewoman. Here it is she said.
                    The blonde officer looked at the mirror, then
                    handed it back saying, ''OK, you can go. I
                    didn't realize you were a cop ...
