It's not the O-ring that's blue in theirs, it's the extractor insert.

Which Noveske rifles are we talking about? I don't believe a mid-length gas system is in need of the black insert.
I agree with you except that a Hyundai isnt as good as Chevy. Maybe not 10 years ago, but they have really stepped up their game recently.
BTW Im not a Hyundai guy, Im a Subaru fanboy:jester:
On topic... My Noveske has run fine. I only have a few hundred rounds through it so far, but its been mostly cheap Tula crap.
Speaking of Noveske. New lightweight stainless. :)

We are actually changing the extractor buffer to black but it's totally irrelevant with an Oring.
The spring being stronger is more important that the buffer color in a carbine.
rifle spring+blue=fail
rifle spring+black=fail
carbine spring+blue=better
carbine spring+black=good
rifle spring+blue/black+Oring=good
carbine spring+black+Oring=can be too much
