I don't know the answer to your questions but you can get them at Brownells.
I got a half a dozen on my last order.
Thats what im going to use from now on.

Music wire. It is copper washed to give it a copper color, and make it visually identifiable from the earlier versions.
It lasts a minimum of 6000 rounds.

Thanks. I get mine from Brownells too.

They last longer than any other extractor spring I've tried (I have no first hand experience with Sprinco extractor springs but reports from sources I trust say they are good to go). Longer than PSA, longer than springs supplied with most BCGs sold as spares, longer than M16 springs and longer than the bad batch BCM put out awhile back. Colt M4 extractor springs get the Wolfhollow Research Seal of Approval

I will add that some extractors will be a little bit harder to install onto the bolt after these springs are added.
These springs go on all of my hard use rifles.

Just looking at them they are thick and stout. No more donut for me.

1-Do you use them without the O-ring?
2-Would someone add the brownells link for the research impaired?

An o-ring won’t hurt with the gold extractor spring.
A quality o-ring is an insurance policy. Note I said good quality one that won’t fall apart in cold weather.
All my carbine gassed guns have a gold extractor spring and a pink o-ring. Middys have just the gold spring.

When did that happen?
Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the President... - Theodore Roosevelt, Lincoln and Free Speech, Metropolitan Magazine, Volume 47, Number 6, May 1918.
Every Communist must grasp the truth. Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun. Our principle is that the Party commands the gun, and the gun must never be allowed to command the Party Mao Zedong, 6 November, 1938 - speech to the Communist Patry of China's sixth Central Committee
