    Colt 9mm Extraction Issues

    Looking for some confirmation

    Have a 9mm Colt 10.5 complete upper
    Colt Lower and top loading Hahn block

    Have about 1000-1200 rounds through it.

    Recently having many stovepipes with all of the magazines. Colt mags and Wolff springs or Colt mags with stock springs.

    What is the average life on the extractor? Any tweaking?

    Pulled it out and cleaned it on two occasions and installed a new pin.

    Thinking of ordering a new extractor?

    Thanks in advance
    Brook

    I think I would closely inspect the extractor, it may be chipped and need a new one.

    If both parts (extractor and ejector) look good, then have you moved your mag block any? I've found with my RRA that there is a sweet spot where it works (a hair too high or low and the weapon malfunctions in either feeding or ejection).

    I do Not have specific help but I have that exact upper and block.
    Do Not overlook Anyting scrutinize Everyting. My upper had a loose barrel nut from
    Colt factory. Hahn block dropped in my Anderson lower Tight as can be perfect alignment.
    Mines been Perfect fmj Not jhp. I run 8oz buffer and std spring. Yes look at extractor closely
    I did Not touch Hahn ejector. Could it be a timing issue if you are running lighter
    Buffer??
