[QUOTE]Was it on a new gun you purchased?/QUOTE]
No I inherited it several years back.

I have parts on the way. I ordered the Stoner HD extractor with spring and insert.I went ahead and ordered a Wolff spring to see how it does. I don't think i'll need though. I compared my SAR-3 5.56 extractor to this broken one and there is a bid difference in spring tension. I not it's not a equal comparison but there are the same caliber. By some miracle this thing will still extract manually just not when shooting it.
