Where’s a good place to purchase quality extractors?
Not interested in kits just extractors.

Sorry. Just saw not interested in kits.
Well, I went ahead and got these. Known quality and decent price.

I keep waiting for Lysander to step in and spark a conversation about extractors that goes to the subatomic level.
I clicked here hoping to see that.
Dang. For what those lone extractors cost, you might as well pay a little more and get a complete bolt.
Not that I would skimp on any part of an AR, but the extractor would definitely be the last. I only source from one place, pay him what he wants and shut up.
I don’t consider BCM skimping.
But for all we know Colt, BCM and Unbranded extractors may all be the same.
Agreed. I’ve never seen a broken extractor personally… even on less than top quality guns. Not that I take any part of the BCG for granted.
The claw is susceptible to wear more so than breakage.
Yes this, or may not be in spec. No disparagement of BCM was intended.
Fwiw, I had the grasping lip (or claw) break off of one a few months ago. An Anderson (cough, cough, imagine that) with only about 5000 rounds on it…
why does the title have an apostrophe?
most* BCG kits have a usable extractor. Might have to order with bolt gas rings and extractor springs…
I’ve seen plenty of broken extractors, but of course it involved truck loads of corporate or govt ammo
It’s probably the same reason that your sentence does not start with a capital letter. To my chagrin, people don’t seem to be concerned with grammar when posting on discussion forums.
BKings has billet extractors for 9.95.
Surplusammo.com has individual extractors also.
I’m holding off unitl magpul makes a polymer one! 
There are MIM units out there too ya know! HA!
