The AR-15 extractor is, as are all of our Keepshooting.com house brand spare and replacement parts for the AR-15 platform, a brand new part produced in a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility that holds several foreign military contracts. As such, all parts are compatible with and interchangeable in any MIL-SPEC AR-15.

Located within the bolt assembly, the AR-15 extractor is an essential component that aids in the completion of the firing sequence, as it is responsible for extracting spent cartridges from the chamber of the rifle and readying it for ejection from the receiver by the ejector. This is accomplished as the bolt carrier group is cycled back and forth between each discharge, pushed to the rear by expanding propellant gases and thrust forward by the buffer extractor and recoil spring. The AR-15 extractor is secured within the bolt assembly via the extractor pin.

Spare and replacement parts are an important consideration when it comes to firearms. Like any machine, firearms rely on a series of parts to function properly – especially those components that impact the firing sequence. In general, if a part breaks or fails, a repair or replacement becomes immediately necessary – not only to keep a firearm functioning properly but also to ensure the safety of yourself and those around you.
