Couple other ideas I was just curious of your opinions on
Increased power extractor spring?
My gun was obviously shot before. A bit of black was everywhere as if I had shot a couple mags and not cleaned it. I'm assuming they put some rounds through it at the factory because I bought it new. Let's throw a hypothetical out there. If my shadow was shot at the factory a couple rounds when it was manufactured, let's say it was manufactured over 6 months ago. Hell let's say it's been a year. Could the carbon left behind for so long (even from a few rounds) have gummed the extractor up and then hardened from being left so long?
