The Exact Edge Extractor is manufactured through an EDM process to produce exacting tolerances. The 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. Volquartsen's 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. Volquartsen is able to hold the tolerances to +/-.0001" by utilizing the EDM manufacturing 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.
Note: Volquartsen machines a chamfer or "beveled edge" onto the bottom edge of the extractor improving feeding and reliability. It will eliminate any issues with the bottom edge of the extractor catching on the next round as it feeds up from the magazine. At first glance it may look like a defect as it looks completely different than anything found on the factory part.
This Extractor fits the complete line of MKII MKIII MK IV and 22/45 pistols as well as 10/22 and 10/22 Magnum rifles.
