Makarov Extractor Spring Plunger

The Makarov extractor spring plunger, located within the slide of the Makarov between the extractor and the extractor spring, is an unissued surplus extractor spring plunger.

The extractor is one of the most critical components of any firearm. Designed to extract spent cartridges cases from the chamber of the firearm, the extractor is essential to the overall function and reliability of the firearm. As such, the extractor spring plunger is almost equally important. In the Makarov pistol, the Makarov extractor spring plunger serves as a buffer between the extractor and the extractor spring and assists in placing tension on the extractor as it transfers the kinetic energy from the spring to the extractor and effectively holds it in place.

The Makarov extractor spring plunger, like all of our spare and replacement parts for the Makarov, are unused parts that were obtained from a spare parts inventory in Germany.

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 all components that impact the firing sequence.
