Broken extractor pin

[nick65]

Hello and thanks for the add. I have a Aramalite AR10 with around 800 rounds thru it. Today at the range I had failure to eject after shooting around 70 rounds. I thought the lip on the extractor broke so I packed up and went home When I took the BCG apart I found the extractor pin sheared off. Has anyone seen this before and where can I find one. I checked all the usual sites and no one even has a bolt repair kit in stock. I ordered one from Midway but dont know when it will come. Thanks in advance. Nick

Check back at d. wilson, doubt he will be out of stock long;

Curious, how old a rifle is it?

[nick65]

It is less the a year old. Thanks for the link

QC seems to be a challenge for the new Armalite management.

I didn't have the extractor pin shear, but I had the O ring under the extractor spring break, and caused the same thing. Replaced it and it works fine.Might want to see if Armalite has any AR10 field repair kits. I think they might have DC'd them after MRaley left, but I am not sure.

  Interesting , Armalite should replace it . There may be something out of spec's with the Bolt .I would contact them .

That's as good a price as Armalite has when they are in stock, They are out right now but you can get a notification when they have them in;

If you replace it , have a friend handy. It is a three hand procedure. Takes about a minute once lined up. ( Didn't want to say 3 hand job ! Lol ! )

Be careful with delta 3 tactical. They don't always necessarily show if something is in stock or not. At least not properly all of the time. I've ordered parts from them before and waited a long time for it to finally get to my door.

I'm not bashing them by any means. I'd still order from them if I needed to. But I'd call them just to be sure.

 Thanks for all the replies. Midway had the pins in stock so i got them and repaired the bolt. Put 80 rounds thru it yesterday seemed to be ok.I also just got from Midway a bolt repair kit. Is the spring on the firing pin just for the AR10? I also emailed delta3 and asked if they have the AR10 kit in stock before i order it. Thanks again to all

 Yes, the FP Spring is a Armalite AR 10 proprietary set up .

Apparently I need to look through the forums a little more often. 

 

Let me know now if you need any parts.

You're good, Dave - you're busy enough as it is, and that's understandable.  People can PM you, as well.
