Beware of Mckay uzi extractors

[Vector Arms]

Attached is a picture of an Original IMI 9mm extractor which we took out of a NOS IMI 9mm FA Bolt and one of our newly manufactured 45 ACP extractors.
The extractor on the left is an IMI 9mm extractor and the extractor on the right is one of our 45 ACP extractors.
Both the 9mm & 45 ACP extractors have the exact curve.
As stated before, the bump under the extractor lip is a little larger on the 45ACP extractor. The extractor lips are identical. Our extractors do not have the line shown in previous threads.
We do not have a McKay extractor so we cannot comment on their quality or specs. However, we have had to deal with a number of their bolts and firing pins and they were all out of spec. These parts were inspected by both an Aerospace Machinist and a NASA Machinist and verified that they were all out of spec. When we contacted McKay about their out of spec parts, we did not get a friendly response.

Attached is a picture of the rear of a 45ACP extractor and a 9mm extractor.
The extractor on the left is a 45ACP extractor and the extractor on the right is a 9mm extractor.
The 45ACP extractor has a “T” slot on the back and a 9mm extractor has a straight slot on the back.
Please contact us via our business email address: directblowback@gmail.com if we can answer any questions about our extractors or if you would like to purchase some. We also have the extractor pins.
We would also be glad to help you with any other original IMI parts, springs, magazines, furniture or accessories.

I have a few extractors I've had for YEARS. They have ".45" stamped on them. Only for .45? It's been so long I can't remember where I got them.

I've been very patient and held my tongue for over two months;...but I ordered and paid for 2 completely welded receivers from McKay and have nothing to show for it. In the interim, he has changed what is posted on the website regarding shipping and delivery policies, which were NOT in place at the time of my order. I am willing to understand and be patient, but am getting quite perturbed. (Yes, I have been politely attempting to communicate with McKay. It has NOT been satisfactory.)

I wish some company or group would call IMI and see about producing a run of 1000 or so extractors. Maybe a good price could be had by all. Hell, i would buy at least 5 myself.

run of 1000 or so extractors.

I suspect that wouldn't be near enough to warrant their tooling up. But, I could be wrong.

the 45 extractors are for 45acp, but some claim they work good for 9mm

afaik, if they are old they were made by IMI

Some here have suggested that we should not rush to judgement, which is a nice attitude and also reasonable, but let's just say that "a pattern of behavior is forming."

Looks good. Why did you make 45s instead of 9mm? are your extractors marked with the "45" stamp like the IMI ones?

The weird extractors that McKay is selling are probably the same ersatz ones that the paragons of honesty at sarco were peddling. They have a seam on them and are too long to fit properly by a good amount.

At least you got a response. Everyone else seems to be ghosted by them

Same, multiple attempts at contact to fix the situation but no replies at all.

If i had imi spec drawings i would make some myself. Something like that isn't the easiest to reverse engineer

I had one FA extractor die in my vector full size. The dead extractor has noticeably less bend in it than a new one. It got pretty loose in the extractor hole.

This is what I would call "spring creep." Because "spring creep" refers to the time-dependent, permanent plastic deformation of a spring material under constant stress, usually accelerated by high temperatures.

Sometimes when I mention this, various folk will show up to tell me that it should be referred to as "strain relaxation." I can see where they get that, but since I am referring to the deformation of the spring itself, it seems to me that it should be called "creep."

The reason I mention it is because it occurred to me that we might get some more life out of these dead extractors by bending them back to their original shape. If it was done properly, we might even get another 10 years out of it. I don't know how springs are made, so I'm not sure what would be the best method to do this. Maybe just stick it in a bench vise and give it a bend?




Sure, that's a good point, they should be contacted first and given a chance to explain and make good before they get trashed publicly.

We don't want to break their rice bowl preemptively.

There could be a legit reason that a product is misrepresented on their site. It is technically possible, so they deserve a chance to explain.

I’ve re-bent a slack Uzi extractor in the past and found it to work fine. I found to bend it quite a lot to get good function. Did it and have been using the re-bent extractor for a few years now with no issues.

Now THAT'S info worth it's weight in gold! And that's saying a lot considering what gold is currently selling for! 😀

Found a long lost small bag of these in a box I forgot about that are clearly IMI. I think I'm good now. That being said if someone imports or makes these, I will take some more.

Really disappointed McKay is silent on this issue.

Maybe/hopefully there's a good reason?

 

[Eagle20]

Are these Mckay extractors ?

 

[dustindu4]

Flip them over

 

[ferndog1]

Is the alignment slot in the back parallel with the notch for the retaining pin? If not, they are probably SARCO knock-offs.
