Black Belt
My M1 carbine keeps on eating extractors--2 in one year, only about 200 rounds through it. After the first extractor crapped out I bought a new bolt from Fulton Armory. Now this one has chipped enough to be completely useless and/or dangerous. I'll take it to a gunsmith to get replaced, but I'm wondering whether any of you know what might be causing this so it doesn't happen again. I've been using Winchester brass-case ammo; I think there may have been a box of Remington in there too. The magazines are in good shape, mostly 15-rnd military surplus, straight out of the wax paper.
