I run just about all the Apex parts except the extractor in mine. The CAEK and RAM did a lot to help the trigger, but as to the extractor I haven't had enough problems out of mine that I felt I needed to replace it.

The gun will jam if it gets dirty, but it takes me about 400-500 rounds of my fairly dirty reloads (Unique with cast lead bullets) before that becomes an issue. I have other load recipes that burn a bit cleaner that don't gunk it up as bad.

Just clean the gun every other outing or so - take a dental pick and make sure you scrape any crud out from under the extractor hook.

As long as I do that, my gun runs 100%.
