Well folks the old extractor issue bit me hard the last time at the range. Everything was going fine and kablam. Extractor is gone in the woods somewhere.
serial # dth7737

Here's my question. Just got off the phone with s&w warranty folks and of course thay want the whole gun. Do I need to take off all the extras before I send it back. I have a Magpul Stock and grip. RRA trigger and Magpul rail covers. I know alot of you have already done this drill so Any advice is appreciated

When I sent mine in (MOE), it went with everything that S&W sold it with, and nothing else. I wasn't about to risk them losing the rail covers, RDS, riser, etc.

I had to return mine earlier this month. I removed the optic and mount and did not reinstall the iron sights. I had no other mods installed. Took 14 days turn around time once I got the FedEx send me back label.

Why don't you just send in the bolt or the bolt carrier group?

I believe that S&W has always specifed that the whole rifle be sent back. Besides, isn't this an extractor problem? If it is, they would need the whole rifle to replace it.

I just had a thought. I'll PM you.
