Gunsmithing source for 6.5 Grendel extractor ?

[Drifter™]

Is there a source for replacement 6.5 Grendel extractors for AR-15 bolts?

Don't see the part listed on AA's website, and would prefer to not buy an entire bolt for just an extractor.

Will the DPMS 7.62x39 extractor work properly?

Any other options?

Thanks

I got a replacement for a friend with a 6.5 G from Les Baer Customs, I think they're about $12

AA will sell you one and Les Baer has good ones available also. I think those are the only two I've used along with re-working 223 extractors.

Thanks for the replies. I'll see which one (AA or LBC) answers the phone.

Drifter, kinda depends also on the actual bolt you have. A lot of early Grendel builds had a reworked 762x39 bolt, but in saying that, its quite easy to rework a standard 223 extractor. My bolt is the older type, newer extractors from AA or Les Base wouldn't work so as mentioned above by msalm I filed a 223 extractor until it worked.
