Another vote for the Volquartsen extractor. I bought a brand new 15-22 Sport and had constant FTE's with bulk ammo when I first shot it. I was going to send it back to S&W but decided to order the VQ extractor first. After installing it I went to the range. It was like a completely different gun. I ran just about every type of **** bulk ammo through it without a single FTE. CCI Mini mags were reliable wtih even the stock extractor, but most bulk type ammo had issues.

Now the gun is incredibly reliable. It feeds any type of ammo without a hitch. I highly recommend replacing the stock extractor with the VQ - it made a world of a difference in my rifle.
