nicholst55,

Sweet. Thanks for the heads-up, sir. I appreciate it. Those both are pretty good deals. :)

How often should these O-rings be replaced?

Whenever water starts leaking.

Whenever water starts leaking.

Didn't help much but it was funny:D Obviously, these O-Rings are wear & tear items. I've put 230 rounds through my my M4 thus far (last Sunday). Do I need to order more NOW or am I good for a few more range sessions? I'm sure I'll figure this our over time but thought I'd ask since this thread seemed like a handy vehicle for doing so.

Being new, I don't mind being ignorant. I can fix that by learning.

I would never run a gun that needed an O-ring to extract properly.

Even BCM acknowledges that they aren't necessary... but customers want them, so they include them in their bolt/extractor kits.

Thank you Demigod. That's information I can store for future use.

If you have a black insert and a H/D extractor spring, there's no need for the o-ring.

They fall in the same category as the accu-wedge.
