I had my 6 ARC go down on me in a practical match Saturday. Bolt wouldn't lock down on a chambered round. The day was over for me and the 2 hour ride home was long. Upon inspection when I got home, the extractor spring had basically failed (maybe kinked a little) and the extractor wouldn't slide up and over the rim on a magazine fed round. A 16" ARC with MLGS takes a lot of extractor abuse. The match is probably as abusive as what these guys do (I've been looking into it and it looks like a lot of fun!) - 2 stages prior to the failure 7 rounds went downrange in 11.09 seconds and 10 to 20 will often go downrange in under 90 seconds. I'm probably going to swap out the extractor and spring every thousand rounds moving forward.
Let's go Brandon!
