Every single BCG I own including BCM's; I went through and replaced all extractor springs with a spring co 5 coil and black insert. It only costs $4 per gun to do. I never have to worry again if my extractor has enough tension. To me it was a no brainer.
At the very least pull down the extractor and document what they sent you. IIRC my PSA's came with a silver 4 coil spring with insert and donut. Looked fine, but I still pulled them.
I replace extractor springs on every “new”, “new to me” BCG.
Cheap insurance; times limited, ammo expensive, life’s short.
A true "Gun Guy" (or gal) should have familiarity and a modicum of proficiency with most all firearms platforms.
