EGW GI EXTRACTOR 45 SERIES 70 - EGW GI EXTRACTOR IMPROVED .45 ACP SERIES BLUED

841370117635 296000784

Top takeaways

EGW improved the original 1911 Extractor design by reducing the distance to the hook and angling it for a stronger bite and increased durability.
The extractor features radii on both sides to eliminate weak points and is machined with a special cutter for a clean radius in the inside corner.
EGW's extractors are vacuum heat treated, providing excellent spring properties and the ability to maintain tension for over 70,000 rounds.

841370117635 The steel available to us today is of much higher quality than what was available in 1911 when the 1911 pistol was first produced. Improvements to the entire manufacturing process include better alloys, more controlled furnaces, vacuum heat treat, better tooling, and finite element analysis-all of which EGW uses in production. EGW-specific Improvements to the original 1911 Extractor: EGW found that the extractor rides up the relief groove on the ammunition casing with each round fired: this dulls the hook from constantly banging the case, over time tension is lost, leading to a jammed case which adversely affects accuracy. If you experience a loss of tension or must continually retension your extractor, it is time to replace it. EGW fixed all 3 of these problems by reducing the distance from the bolt face to the extractor hook. They found that most hook designs are cut straight at a right angle. They machined theirs at an acute angle so that there is more surface area for the hook to bite into the case. Right angles are a weak point on other extractors so they put radii on both sides of theirs to increase strength. The hook is machined with a special cutter that leaves a nice clean radius in the inside corner where most extractors fail. Lastly EGW extractors are vacuum heat treated yielding great spring properties and the capability to maintain tension for 70,000+ rounds.
