I know I just did a thread on an extraction issue, but because I discovered two VERY different factory extractors I am doing a separate thread for the benefit or future searches and those who don't want to read yet another extraction issue.
Long story short: Had extraction issues, discovered new factory replaced extractor is VERY different from OEM Ruger placement part # KMS01400A
Here are pics first of my problem and the the old factory installed vs. new Ruger brand extractor:
Look at the differences- The old one in the first pic (on the left) clearly has a much smaller groove and bearing area than the stronger looking one on the right. It may also be nicked (not sure). Is it broken? maybe, but the overall shape is different and the finish/quality is equally different.
In the 2nd pic, which is a little fuzzy, the same thing is visible & the new one has a K in a circle. Its also shaped slightly differently.
Why would Ruger install a crappy extractor during a previous repair?? Why are there 2 different types?
In any event, this is why I keep spares of everything!
