Volquartsen Ectractor

[Flapjacks]

Got mine on Thursday and popped it in. Ran some dummies through it and then had a steel match, that night. Worked beautifully!

I don't get the whole hoopla. I'll probably get one when I need to have my Volquartsen extracted. Or when it gets temparamental, tempermental, temperamental.......oh whatever!

chalk up another Volquartsen extractor user - replaced the original after three range visits with multiple FTEs. Mo betta! and the rifle now fires pretty much all the ammo I've put through it - CCI AR, Armscor HV/HP, Norma Tac-22, Federal Auto Match and American Eagle.

How difficult to install the volquartsen extractor ? Looks like it's pressed into the bolt somehow ? Bolt tool ? Or just bring it to your gunsmith of choice ?

Literally use a small flathead screwdriver to push the spring and retaining pin back, pop out the old extractor and pput in the new one. Good idea to clean it well while you're in there too.

Great thanks, going to order one and put it in for the heck of it..

Careful installing the extractor; the extractor plunger is under significant spring pressure and will find its way into small parts heaven if you don't restrain it.

Don't ask how I know....... (hiding face in shame )

Haha thanks ! I'll try to open it in a bag or plastic bin or something that will catch it if I can't. Ordered one on Amazon will be here tomorrow

 

[Jayspec]

can you give me a UK or European community web store where to buy it? thank you

I just ordered mine from brownells uk. They have them in stock now if that's any help

Just got mine in, fixed my jamming issue !
Brass flys like 10ft !!

My local outdoor range requires a brass catcher for centerfire semis, but not rimfire. I think they will probably make an exception in my case...

Well I have had the extractor for a little while now and I am very happy with it. It solved my issue of hot brass hitting my coupled mag and then hitting me. It works as claimed and does such a good job that I had just about forgotten I even installed it.

Then I saw this thread I started some time ago. Glad to see it got popular. I figured I would add my finale review on the product. If all items worked this well we wouldn't even have a returns counter.

I replaced the stock extractor with a Volquartsen and I find it works better than the stock. A more positive extraction always helps when dealing with the wide variety of .22LR out there.

Got a PM, someone wanted to make sure my mags were coupled correctly. They are... LOL

I use salem 6 mags and they are short so getting two couplers on the mags and staggering them is a challenge. I actually had to make notches in the mags so they would sit better on the couplers. Otherwise the mags kept sliding out the bottom.

With the stock extractor I was getting a few week ejections and the hot brass would occasionally bounce off a mag and land on my neck, arm etc.

Problems fixed now. Hey Volquartsen any chance I can get something for starting this thread and selling at least a half dozen of those things? Well even if not I was already given a quality product at a fair price.

I was having a few problems with mine not many but still quite annoying. Since I installed the volsquarten extractor no problems at all. I think it's a great upgrade. a lot of people have no problems with the original. But if your one of them with fte s jams stovepipes. I would strongly recommend one. I'm well pleased

I was having stovepipe issues with my brand new, (and yes it was thoroughly cleaned before ever being fired) M&P 15-22, and after 2 trips to the range, cleaning it after each session, I had seen enough.

I ordered the Volquartsen extractor and installed it this weekend. I figured for 14 bucks I had nothing to lose.

Just to get an idea of how well it would do, I went through a box of 325 rounds of Federal Automatch Target ammo.

Not one stovepipe out of the entire 325 round box, whereas before I was seeing a stovepipe after every 30-40 rounds or so with this same ammunition and the stock extractor, and worse with the Remington Gold.

So far, I'm quite happy with the Volquartsen extractor.
