That was certainly more interesting than you wanted it to be. How many rounds before the extractor broke in the first place?

Can you determine the cause? Poor quality, etc?
Do what you say you're gonna do.

I had an improperly heat treated bolt catch fail in one of my guns, right in the middle of a match. Fortunately, had a backup rifle. That catch serves as a zipper pull on one of my guns bags as a reminder.
