Makarov Extractor

Bulgarian Makarov Extractor

This is the extractor for the Makarov PM pistol, from Bulgarian Army stock. The extractor sits in the slide and hooks the rim of each cartridge case, pulling the spent case out of the chamber as the slide cycles. When an extractor chips or loses its grip, the pistol starts failing to extract. Makarov owners keep a spare on hand for that reason, and builders and collectors use them to keep a Bulgarian pistol correct with issued parts.

Features

• Genuine Bulgarian Army Issue — The part comes from Bulgarian military supply, not from an aftermarket maker.
• Makarov PM Pattern — It is made for the Makarov PM, the Soviet-designed service pistol that Bulgaria adopted and produced.
• 9x18mm Makarov Cartridge — The PM fires 9x18mm Makarov, a round slightly shorter and wider than 9x19mm, and this extractor is shaped for that case rim.
• Hooked Extractor Claw — The claw at the front grips the rim of the case so the slide can draw it clear of the chamber for ejection.
• Solid Steel Construction — The extractor is a single steel piece with a dark finish.
• Original Machined Profile — The lug, notch and groove visible on the body are the cuts that locate the extractor in its recess in the slide.
• Single Replacement Part — This listing covers the extractor alone, for replacing a damaged part or keeping a spare in the parts kit.

Bulgarian Issue Part

Bulgarian Makarovs are known among collectors for their build quality, so original parts are worth having for both shooters and anyone keeping a pistol all-Bulgarian. Small parts like this one can vary slightly between pistols, so check the fit in your slide before firing. If you are unsure about installing an extractor, have a gunsmith fit it.
