AK EXTRACTOR PIN

Function: The extractor pin is part of the AK-47's bolt assembly. It secures the extractor, which is responsible for gripping the rim of the cartridge case and extracting it from the chamber during the cycling of the action.

Location: The extractor pin is located within the bolt assembly, specifically securing the extractor to the bolt.

Material: Extractor pins are typically made of durable materials such as steel. This ensures the strength and durability needed for the repeated stresses involved in firing and cycling.

Size: The extractor pin has specific dimensions to fit the corresponding parts within the AK-47 bolt assembly. The exact size may vary slightly depending on the manufacturer and model.

Replacement: Extractor pins, like many small parts in firearms, may experience wear over time. If there are issues with the extraction process or if the pin is damaged, it may need to be replaced.

Installation: Replacing the extractor pin typically requires disassembling and reassembling the bolt assembly. Gunsmithing skills or knowledge of firearm disassembly are recommended.
