Smith & Wesson M&P 15-22 Volquartsen Extractor How to install

[@UncleFungusSus]

This Is the first video on YT that has a clear how to on the installment of the Volquartsen exact edge extractor.thank you for showing me how to do this

[@JJMTrucking]

Wow Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad I could help you out!

[@jasonsilevinac3158]

Mr AdrenalineRush -I fully agree. The lighting was perfect and you were thorough. Thank you

[@kyhermit]

My factory extractor flew out of the bolt while shooting on the range and I could not find it. I was lucky the spring and the other small piece were recovered. Rather than send the gun back in to the factory and wait who knows how long for repairs, I watched your video and ordered a new Volquartsen extractor. A few days later it arrived in the mail, I rewatched your installation video and installed the new one with no tools whatsover, just gently did it by hand. Took all of 30 seconds at most. Immediately loaded up a mag and the gun shot flawlessly. Your video was beyond helpful. Wish I could shake your hand in appreciation and buy you lunch!

[@Guitarsdetectors]

Wish all videos involving detailed work were this clear. Great job!

[@JJMTrucking]

Absolutely! Glad you saw my video. You will never have an fte ever again!

[@ScottySpeeks]

Having a lot of fun with this rifle. Even with good ammo I get a FTE about every 1/80, Cheaper ammo 1/10. Heard the Volquartsen is the way to go but was unsure if it was something I could easily do. Suffice to say after watching this my new extractor should be here in a few days and installed about 5 minutes after opening the package thanks to you. I appreciate you!!

[@dwells3536]

Just wanna let you know that 2 years later your video is still helping folks. Thanks for the upload! Did you notice immediate changes when installing it?

[@JJMTrucking]

I try my best to read and respond to everyone's comments. And yes it was an immediate change that no rounds after the installation would jam or failure to eject.

[@bradley1154]

Mine caused a jam and the bullet exploded in the chamber, ordering one of these tomorrow and gonna call and bit** s&w out about it

[@JJMTrucking]

@@bradley1154 it's called an "Out of Battery" fire. It happens when the bolt isnt fully closed but the striker pin is still able to make contact with the bullets primer and allow it to fire. It is very dangerous. But about calling customer service and yelling at them, please keep in mind the person you speak with over the phone is NOT the person who designed the rifle and that they are still a human being, and I ask that you share your concern in a firm yet calm way please. No one should be yelled at for something they did not do.

Great Job ! Great lighting and close up. Installing mine tonight. Thank you !

[@MikeM-ld1rw]

Great video, thanks man. I'm doing this upgrade to mine tonight. I'm jamming every 3 rounds or so. Not fun and not ok. I've read good things about the Volquartsen extractor.

[@chrisusa8167]

Disappointed S&W have such issue, I just received the rifle today, the clip was found in the bottom of sponge, the sprint disappear, the pin still in the VE.🤕 Actually what is this VE work for? the bullet always jam in the ejector is this reason?

[@KPotassiumK]

Love the attention to detail. I’ve been shooting guns for a while but i haven’t done much with the components of the actual guns so this is gonna be new to me. I heard that this is one of the best things to do for your 15-22 tho so it looks like im going to have to go for it
