I did not notice if the extractor was still there, I took it from the desert straight back to cabelas. My buddy at work bought one and we tested it in the desert Friday. It works pretty well, although one round did go off before the round was fully chambered, causing it to rupture very loudly. I have a photo somewhere. I am going to mount a scope on mine as it has accuracy potential that it is not living up to with the iron sights.
