i see a lot of blame being placed on ammo....and i understand in some rare instances it could be a culprit. But i have found, in my own guns, that MOST of the time, its the gun and not the ammo.

Yeah, and in some of the cases I have seen on various forums it was the shooter  . I'm just sayin....

Update: I put the oring around the extractor spring and went out to test today. No hang ups at all with the PMC ammo. Ran 4 mags through it loaded with 10 rounds each and had no issues at all. Even had my wife shoot it, still no problems.

That's good news, Russ! Does it now kick the casings out 5-6'? This is sounding like the DD extractor or spring. I'm kinda thinking the BCM Socom extractor/kit wouldn't be a bad idea which is what I did to correct my DD extraction issue. I did go with the O-ring successfully a while but wanted to get back to standard.

Yea, it throws the cases consistently about 5-6'. The extractor itself seems good, the edge is good and sharp. I will probably run it as-is for a while to verify the problem is solved. If it remains trouble free, I will likely look into the BCM kit.

Thanks for all the help guys. The extractor wasn't even on my radar, so without your help I would have been completely in the dark.

Update: I ran a practical rifle class with this gun last week. Not a single hiccup. I'm thinking that I'll probably order up the Springco extractor kit since the extractor itself seems fine.
