7.62x39 Broken Shell Extractor

Clears a Torn Case

A cartridge case can tear at firing and leave its front half stuck in the chamber. The rifle is then out of action until that piece comes out. This Romanian Army broken shell extractor is the issue tool for 7.62x39mm chambers, the round used in AK-pattern rifles. It is a compact item for range bags, cleaning kits and collections of Romanian service gear.

Features

• 7.62x39mm Chamber Fit — Sized for the 7.62x39mm cartridge, the intermediate round fired by AK-pattern rifles.
• Slotted Gripping Body — A lengthwise slot splits the body so it can compress to enter a torn case and then press outward against the case walls.
• Cartridge-Style Rimmed Head — The grooved head copies a cartridge rim, which gives the rifle's extractor claw something to catch and pull back.
• Stepped Nose — The narrow, knobbed front end leads the tool into the case remnant and the chamber neck.
• Dark Metal Finish — A dark finish over solid metal construction matches the look of the rest of Romanian issue kit.
• Single-Piece Design — The tool has no loose parts or springs to lose, so it stores easily in a buttstock trap, pouch or cleaning roll.
• Genuine Romanian Army Issue — This is original government-issue equipment, not an aftermarket copy.

Romanian Service Issue

Romania armed its forces with AK-pattern rifles in 7.62x39mm and supplied small field tools like this one to keep them running. The tool has the stepped, slotted form issued for that job. AK shooters who want a working spare in the kit will find it useful, and collectors and reenactors building out a period Romanian loadout can add a correct original piece.
