Bolt extractor slot is .067"
The replacement extractor VQ sent me was thicker than .062. It was a very tight fit & a PITA to install. If I pull it to the limit of it's travel it will stick but...

Took it to the range & put 70rds of Aguila HV and 30rds of Aguila SV through it with zero malfs. We'll see how it functions dirty.

Wish I'd thought to write down the measurement of the new part...
