As far as the Colt gold spring, I bought some 5 coil Sprinco's a while back, so will be running those. For now, my goal is to establish if there is a material problem with the rifle in some way or just an out of spec consumable part like the gas rings as BuffardT suggested. I want to copy whatever setup BCM shipped it with and not band aid the problem with extra extractor tension. Thanks for the help, I'll be hitting the range soon!
That Springco 5 coil is damn near bomb proof. It's all I use now, though one could hardly go wrong with the new copper washed spring from colt.
