Had lots of trouble with FTE's, especially with Federal Ammo.
Fed sent replacements- better, but not "fixed"
Put in VQ extractor..Voila! No more trouble-AT ALL!
By the by... the ruger extracter was rounded off on the bottom of the hook- I don't know of it was a result of the stamping or what. A new Ruger ex may have worked.
The VQ item is $11 well spent.

I have a few in a couple of my MK's, and some in a couple of my 10/22's. They really are a great part.

They are a stamped part using a punch and die and you will normally get one side that is slightly rounded on any stamping, VQ makes theirs I believe by the EDM process.
