Re: 94AE ejector, yet again
Just curious, does the parts catalog list more than one part number for the extractor? That is, different extractors for different calibers.
To me, it looks like the extractor claw is made at the wrong angle, it should be perpendicular to the case, not turned so that only the edge catches the case.
