don't do it!!! I had one done and I hate it. it keeps leaving brass half way in gun but when I take it to gunsmith it will work okay. was doing some target shooting last week and piece of brass stayed in chamber and had to use rod to get it out. got another factory Remington bolt and everything is now okay. I will never use M16 extractor again period!!!

There is always something that isn't going to be perfect all the time. I had one on my first XP silhouette pistol, three bbl's and over 8,000 later I never had a failure to extract.
 
I use both extractors and never had a problem with either of them in a lot of years.....
If a rod is needed to remove a case in the chamber, it's not the extractors fault that it's stuck !!
A properly installed extractor will remove a spent case thats not overloaded 100% of the time...
 
PLEASE, hold any comments that does not address my 1st post, ie; what gun smiths install either the M 16 or the Sako

I install sako extractors. Free tips: Make sure whoever you choose uses a CrMo insert. Some use mild steel. Make sure the tenon fitment is sized to accept whichever extractor you choose. M16 requires it to be opened up quite a bit.--Jerry
