Ruger PC Carbine Exact Edge Extractor

The tip chipped after 50 rounds and caused stovepipe. Now I am waiting for it to get back in stock to get a replacement.

 

In Mar 2021 I installed the EEE on an older PC9, all extraction issues with that weapon disappeared.
In Jan 2022 I purchased a 2nd PC9 and ordered a second EEE (delivered fast and fit was perfect).
After less than 250 rounds extraction problems started, broke down the action to find the extractor had broken.
Contacted Help desk replacement sent, installed, worked perfect for about 350 rnds, broke again. (2-22)
Contacted Help desk replacement sent, same issue as the previous 2 extractors.
Removed EEE from 1st weapon put it in the 2nd and it has worked for over 3,000 with only 3 FTE's. (I tend to shoot my own reloads and the FTE's were on some less than optimal brass)
Gave up on the EEE and put the factory extractor back into the first PC9 wnd have learned to live with a 2% FTE rate.
I don't know what happened to the materials used in my last 3 EEE's but they can't even compare to the older unit but until that is corrected I cannot recommend this product.
The people at M*CARBO and all the other accessory's I've purchased from them rate at least 5 stars but this unit is the exception to prove the rule.

     

I purchased this part and installed it in accordace with the video by the President of Mcarbo. Although it is very stylish don't let it fool you. It took me about a month to get out to the range after installation and right away problems. The bolt would not hold open on the last round and would only fire one round at a time while having to chamber every round.
I emailed and called Mcabro several times "NO ONE HAS REACHED OUT TO ME BY PHONE OR EMAIL". I took the gun to a gunsmith and was still having the same problem until I reinstalled the original extractor stock and it's all working as perfectly normal as before.
The take away from this is everything that looks good/stylish is "NOT".

Mine was either blemished prior to installation or broke after 22 rounds.

Easy to install. Liked the design. Fixed my stove piping problem.

I was having issues with reliability with my pc carbine. I was getting failure to eject and stove piping. Everyone recomended replacing the extractor. It came fast in the mail, and it looks like it’s great quality compared to the poor factory extractor. The edge quality is crisp. Took it to the range and tried out 3 different grain weight and I didn’t have a single issue after that. Still need more range time to be sure, but I’m almost certain this fixed the issue.

The Ruger Carbine is a great firearm, but there are some known areas of weakness. One of those problem areas is extractor wear which manifests in jams and stovepipes. This extractor wear is brought forth by design and execution weakness. It generally manifests sometime after use, which can vary as to number of rounds through the rifle.

The MCARBO extractor is very robust steel, and pertinent contact points between extractor and ammunition case are more precisely executed and uses slightly larger contact points of the extractor and the shell case. Overcomes problems and weakness areas described in the preceding.

As noted, this component at the very least will ameliorate most of the extractor issues related to causing jams and stovepipes. Further, installation is relatively easy and there are readily accessible videos and instructions to install the improved after-market extractor. You also have MCARBO's excellent communication as to shipping, and transportation of your purchase.

I purchased the extended charging handle, exact edge extractor, shock buffer, A2 Tool Steel Bolt Head Pins & Extractor Pin Kit, Stainless Steel Trigger Group Pin Kit & Stainless Steel Recoil Spring Retainer. I'm 100% happy with the items. Shipping was quick and quality is great American made. I'm going to do the flat trigger next. I believe these parts are superior to the OEM parts and make my Ruger PC9 Carbine and much better firearm. Great job MCARBO. Thank you
