Yep, another broken-extractor thread

Thank you for the info!

I'm sure you're right about it being overgassed by design. Kind of funny though, w/o the 'modern' deflector the brass seems to go any which way. At least it does with my old M16a1 upper. So I don't know if we could use the 'O'clock' method as reliably I don't think, anyway. I never experimented with light an heavy loads in that upper to see what the brass would do consistently. And it's getting off topic.

Well best of luck to you and your extractors.
