Default Extractor "O" ring

Is it a good idea to replace the extractor O-ring with one of the aftermarket spring kits or leave it alone?

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Replace it. I always hate it when a firearm works. I then go monkeying with it, have an issue, then gripe about it here.

If you look you will find that you already have an upgrade extractor. Mine is still going strong after many 1000's of rounds.

DIY motto.

If it ain't broke, fix it until it is!

Ok thanks. I wasn't sure how well the O-rings held up as compared to a steel spring. This is my first AR so....
