Ruger 10/22 Extractor Install

This is a short video of me installing a new extractor into one of my 10/22 bolts. When I went to do it I looked for some sort of instructional video and couldn't find any so now you have one. This is the Volquartsen exact edge extractor I believe there are a couple other companies that make extractors and install of them should be just the same. Here is Volquartsen 's explanation of their product: The Exact Edge Extractor is manufactured through an EDM process to produce exacting tolerances. The new extractor will not lose its edge under impact such as other extractors made from stamped steel or titanium that will have their edges "roll over" and actually cause extraction problems after a short period of use. Our extractor features a very precise "hook point." It is hardened to a Rc 58-60 to withstand years of use and still maintain its edge. We are able to hold the tolerances to +/-.0001" by utilizing the EDM mfg process. The hook is .005" closer to the rim of the cartridge to allow for the most positive extraction available. Made of A2 tool steel

Had jamming issues with my 10/22. Turns out that I dont even have a plunger in my spring and the extractor was loose in the bolt. Definitely going to buy one of these and try it out. Thanks for the vid.

Thanks, Just installed mine. The spring is shorter than stock. Looks like it should work well. We'll see when I get to the range. Thanks again.

Good Video. Like you said, plenty of video's on the trigger assembley, but not too much on the bolt. Thanks!

Thanks man! Just installed mine with the help of this video.

Keep up the good work and Happy Holidays!

Wow! Great video, clear and concise. Since I did the chamber work on my 10/22 and switched to CCI Blazer, the rounds do not extract manually. Gun functions and ejects just fine, but when I try to remove an unfired round by cycling the bolt, the extractor hook does not pick up the rim of the round. I noticed the CCI rim is a bit thicker than some of the other brands of ammo. Maybe I'll try to resharpen the extractor if I can't get my hands on a VQ.

Thanks for a great video!

Thank you. You are live saver. I took the mine apart for the first time trying to clean it. By accident, I pulled the extractor outward and things fly over all the place. Good thing I found all the parts but completely helpless how to put it back. Man, I am glad you shared this video. Thanks.,

great video. Got one on on order should be here any day. Should fix my stovepiping issues hopefully.

Grape Shasta! YUM. Good Vid. Is that the factory bolt? I polish mine from 400 grit to 2000 grit then dremel polish to mirror. Easy to do, makes a lot of difference and saves about $150 match bolt which is just silly. OEM bolts come really rough and pitted. Also Slick 50 in an eye dropper is awesome bolt lube, just a couple drops.

Thanks. I am hoping this will help fix my problem.
