don't know how many folks caught this
it seems to me that mr IDPA steyr has solved the extractor problem
in "90.000 Rounds of Maintenance and Repair" he writes;
"The design problems are different and not easily remedied. I have tried multiple fixes from re-shaping the extractor hook to increasing the crimp on the ammunition. The failures all seem to be related to insufficient spring tension on the extractor causing it to slip off the case rim. I have finally solved the problem by installing a spring of higher tension than the original. Brownell’s had a spring pack that contains a spring of the same diameter and higher tension than the Steyr original. I just cut it to length and installed it. No problems since. The extractor area also needs to be very clean with very little oil on it to collect dirt. "
sticky?
so, can someone get a bulk deal some good springs?
haven't had any problems meself, but would put a new one in anyway to be safe
imagine i'm not alone
