As the other reviewers said, an excellent idea and glad to have one with every one of my 7.62 Soviets...

One of the few things that can go wrong with an AK is tearing the head off a case. With the extremely powerful extraction, robust extractor, and a solid fixed ejector, it is some what likely. Throw in modern barrel with a tighter chamber for improved accuracy, along with a steady diet of brass cased ammo and your chances increase. This will solve that little problem.

great to have in your bug out bag.

This is a must have if you own a SKS other rifles that shot 7.62x39 I kept one in my range bag. It will safe the day if a shell brakes. You can’t get much cheaper.

Had no idea these existed but Im glad I purchased one before I had a problem with a broken shell. Id hate to have to pack up and head home because of a broken shell wedged in my barrel. A definite must buy

Seems very well made. Hope I don't have to use it. I should probably get 1 or 2 more.

If you ever had a stuck shell, you know this is a must have for the range bag. I think I have about four of these scattered throughout all my bags.

Every shooter needs to have one of these for every caliber, especially if you a using surplus or suspect ammo. This is the only way to safely remove a broken case without damaging your expensive new toy. As usual, KS has these priced right.

I like it so much,I bought some more for all of my AK rifles.Trust me, Don't go shooting your AK's without one in your accessory kit,You ain't gonna regret it.

I purchased this awhile ago along with the 7.62x54R and .223 ones.

I used the .223 today at the range and it worked flawlessly.

Thanks keepshooting.

I keep it in the grip chamber of my stock.
"Better to have and not need ,than to need and not have".

Everyone knows being at the range and having a broken shell jam in your barrel can ruin your day. Don't be that guy , grab one of these and you'll never have to worry .

Haven't had to use this yet. But if you have ever had a ruptured shell and tried to remove it, you will appreciate having the right tool around. Judging from the reviewers who have had to use theirs, it works fine. I keep mine in the stock with the cleaning kit.

A well built tool and good to have around. For the price there really is no excuse not to have one.

I haven't use it yet but it's seems like a fine product.It is useful to have it ,or if want your AK,SKS kit complete.

Although I have not needed it yet,(AK is notoriously reliable) some types of brass ammo cases will rip in two. Lent it to fellow shooter at range to extract torn brass from WASSR. Priceless!

If you regularly shoot any steel case ammo, you will need this tool! Get one now, throw it in your shooting bag and save yourself some hassle down the road.

I use this device frequently in my Romanian wasr-10. It stores nicely in the butt end of the rifle there's a lidded hole to put the little maintenance tools in. Great buy indeed.

Ditto to Stephens' comments below.Anyone using import 7.62x39 ammo from uncertain sources will need this eventually.

Best price around....Thanks Keep Shooting.

I have several 7.62x39mm rifles, and this extractor stays in my shooting bag. I have had several ruptured and torn cases using cheap target ammo, and until I had one of these it was a range day catastrophe. Now, 30 seconds and the ripped case is clear. Of course ammo has gotten better, but I still carry one and highly recommend it for anyone else.
