The AR extractor, for sure, can't blow out due to the pin and the fact that most of that part will be below the raceway, supported by the action. Only gas escaping would be thru the small crack between the extractor and the milled slot.

I would like to hear about any that blew and what happened.

And wouldn't the "Hatcher Hole" help divert gas out the side vs straight back along the bolt?

I would think a pre-64 M-70 would be at greater risk of gas blow back from a blown primer than this set up.

Someone set me straight.
