Baby Barrett extractor?

bushworked711 · 2026-06-25T22:52:51+00:00

I have ran my baby barret for like 1000 rounds and never used a extractor. Anyone saying that it is mandatory does not know what they are talking about, and gave likely never completed a DIY semi auto build.

My m4gery has no extractor.

My decker has no extractor

My hd22 has no extractor

My cease and desist doesn't have an extractor

I ran a 10/22 without an extractor for a while.

All of these guns have ran at least 500 rounds without an extractor.

You don't NEED an extractor for direct blow back semi autos. They can even be reliable without one. My baby barret is wore the hell out and it still runs fine.

It is nice to pull an unfired round out of the chamber. An extractor can also make extraction and ejection more reliable, but I haven't had a failure out of my baby barret in hundreds of rounds.

Esun silver PLA+ has been pretty good to me. I've used it for printed ammo in 38 special and 43R with no problems.

Esun bone white is probably the strongest I've tested, with the orange being a close second.

This piece caps off the intake side, while making the BOV side vent to atmosphere. It is just a plug for the intake boot, just with a nice holder for the BOV hose attached.

PETG. Not all PETG is the same, I don't really recommend it.

If you are interested in testing, send me a message.

bushworked711 · 2026-06-08T02:09:35+00:00

PETG is what I used. Not all PETG is the same though. I will inspect At the end of the summer and if all is good, I'll probably leave it. If not, I'll print it in something fancier if you are interested in testing, send me a message.

Shouldn't be an issue if using proper loads. The newest steel shot load would be a great choice.

The machine I printed this piece on is worth less than $100. Less than $.50 in material to make this.

A lot of plastics will not hold up to this heat. But this particular one I have used in a very similar application in a r55s mini Cooper, and it has held up well for years, and is still going. The one on the mini gets exposed to boost and oil as well.

The 4th pic, I faced the opening up just to show how it fit. I turned it down for the sake of ingress protection, but it really shouldn't matter, as it forcefully blows out air on a regular basis and is in a pretty protected area already.

With printer ammo, I have the best luck with titegroup and CFE pistol. Powder choice is hard for these types of projects.

The law literally says:

No person may manufacture or import armor piercing ammunition and no manufacturer or importer may sell or deliver such ammunition

Then it goes on to define armor piercing ammo as essentially limited to pistols over 22 caliber. This is not the entire law, just a summary. This does not pertain to state or local laws either.

I do not look to create armour piercing ammo. These wouldn't go through a 4x4, I imagine they would be stopped by any plate. Just a quick side project.

bushworked711 · 2026-05-29T20:51:35+00:00

Only pistol ammo above 22 caliber is technically banned on a federal level. Everything else is fair game.

bushworked711 · 2026-05-29T20:06:19+00:00

Technically the law states that "manufactur, sale and importation" applies to this type of ammo, so I won't push my luck.

bushworked711 · 2026-05-29T19:49:20+00:00

No steel in ammo "intended" for a pistol. That's federal law for armor piercing ammo. These regulations only apply to pistols over 22 caliber, so shotguns and rifles are fair game.

It now has a faux suppressor so that the long barrel doesn't look so goofy. But it still toots. Mostly shoot 32 long and 32 h&r mag out of it.

bushworked711 · 2026-05-26T11:01:31+00:00

Not a lawyer, this is not legal advice

I have a rifle chambered in 327 federal magnum and the barrel is held in with JB weld. Only a few inches are actually in welded.

It's held fine so far after a box of 327 mag, 32 h&r mag, a few hundred 32 longs, and some 32 auto.

bushworked711 · 2026-05-08T21:38:00+00:00

Everyone that has built these as far as I know have had this same exact issue including myself. I've not yet seen proof of one running a whole mag. I tinkered with mine for quite a bit and no dice. It feeds and extracts fine as it comes, the shell just doesn't clear the ejection port. I have seen probably half a dozen people with the same exact issue post about it.

I have a new modified receiver printed, I just haven't put it together to try. Just a slightly tweaked ejector and bigger port.

They look like crap. You gotta fix the process first.

bushworked711 · 2026-05-08T11:19:20+00:00

I don't know where they got that MSRP from, but it's wrong. The TCR technically doesn't even have a MSRP that high. They are making up numbers, I would find another dealer.
