I've broken one in a Grendel too. The forward lip snaps off. I think it may be the extractors themselves that are partially at fault. They grind out more material and I think it makes them weaker. I never pitched a fit though. It was in my 10.5" upper (very filthy!) while full auto suppressed IIRC. If anything would break one, I'd expect that to be the time.
I bought a bunch of extra bolts (expecting to break one) and neither I nor any of my friends have ever broken one of them. I ended up calling AA and having them send me a pack of extractors too, after the breakage. But everything so far is fine (cause I'm too broke to shoot much lately!LOL).
