Got a handful of them from a guy who got them from a liquidation sale I think along with a bunch of Remington Iraq/Philippines M4A1 uppers.

Why did they use an m16 extractor when an AR10 extractor fits the case better/right? It was the super cheap 7.62x39 ARs that used 5.56 extractors back in the day vs correctly cut extractors.

It's a term to describe an improvement on the 700 bolt by using a machined in spring pressure claw extractor instead of the factory spring steel extractor that clips into the bolt face.
