Is shipping calculated correctly? I want to order 2 extractors and shipping is over $28. I know everything is expensive but that seems excessive. Is that correct?
Edit.. I bit the bullet and ordered the 2, gotta pay to play and you ain’t gonna play if ya can’t extract

I asked him about shipping. They use a UPS program and yes thats what it is. At least that is what I was told. I did it anyway due to no other better options on real 9mm extractors. I suspect its applying the shipping charge for one x2 even though they both fit in same very small package. That should be about $9 with business shipping rates or heck a flat rate usps is 10.15 retail

how many spare extractors would you consider to be a "lifetime supply"?
I never heard of anyone actually saying they had one break but I would think 2 extra plus the one currently in your gun is probably a lifetime. Most of us dont shoot the volume like we think with ammo prices how they are. That said 39 is as cheap as I have ever seen them in my 5-6 years owning a uzi. The shipping is a real bummer on these. I hate shipping fees especially ones that are way way too high

I have had an extractor break; the hook part of the extractor broke off cleanly at the notch/recess for the case rim. Like most blowback guns, the Uzi will kinda/sorta/sometimes work without an extractor so it wasn't instantly obvious that it had broken. After a few random jams I noticed the failure.
I just ordered two more extractors. I think that'll be maybe 5 9mm extractors and 3 .45 extractors in my stash. I suspect that's a lifetime supply for me.

The extractor is probably the most abused part on a Full Auto UZI, snapping over the rear of the case every time it is fired. The fact they last so long as they apparently do is a testament to the craftsmanship and heat treating skills of IMI/IWI.
That said, you have a $20,000 gun that can be rendered non-functional by the breakage/wear of a $39 part that, at least currently, is hard to find. If I could afford to drop that much coin on one, not to mention the ammo bill required to make it worth owning, I would think 10 of them for about $400 would be a good number and cost little in comparison to my investment in the gun.
Before the current good fortune of someone acquiring an affordable supply of these to sell, they were going for $100 or more in private sales and auctions. Buy 10, wait a year or two for the supply to dry up again, and sell 4. Leaves you with 6 free ones...
While entitled to do this if everyone only bought what they thought was their lifetime supply maybe they would be around longer and lower prices if not for hoarding or companies that will buy these and resell them later at a markup
