I'm going nuts trying to find info on whether a type II extractor will work in a type I bolt. Because I'm playing heck trying to find a type I extractor. Can someone with experience offer some help ? Thanks.
Extractor interchangeability ?

The 7.62x39 extractor is the same as the Type I, they use that bolt.
You can see the BHW reseller lists the BCG as being for both as well:

I thought about ordering a 10-pack of the things from Red-X arms; knowing full well those are likely cheap junk; but considering my twice-the-price BRA extractors are breaking as fast as they are - does it matter?4x P100

Probably so. Barrel is well aligned with extension (sights all light up naturally, and lapping didn't do much as had a pretty uniform wear pattern when tried it). Brass is throwing to about 3:00, so doesn't appear to be over-gassed. That said, it is an adjustable carbine length gas system, so I might start playing with that all the same.
Also, I do have to give props to BRA. They responded in less than 1 business hour, sending out replacement extractors for free (i did not demand this btw); and with a note suggesting same - that I may be over-gassed.
I was hoping just removing the O-ring, which folks said would fix it, would fix it. And I was hoping lapping the upper, which folks would say fixes it, would fix it. Neither of those helped. So next step is to start adjusting the gas-setting. I hate doing that though, since the gun runs 100% reliable otherwise. But, here we are.4x P100

So I'm not sure if it really is overgassed afterall, but it's not proving very easy to adjust if so! If I have to, I can probably pull the handguards off to get to it better, hit it with a torch, and try to open up the set screws some more - but I don't really want to, and am not seeing a brass ejection pattern to suggest that's needed. I have two Alexander Arm's extractors on the way; and will install one of those. If it still breaks with that one, then I'll know for sure it's just a bad run of BRA extractors.4x P100
