Spikes Tatical Ar extractor/ d-fender

[AR27]

hi all, i bought a d-fender d ring for my spikes m4 and when i opened it up to install it i see there is what looks to be a form of the d-fender already installed? I think it is what they call a mil-spec vitton o ring. Its just a little hard rubber circle on the extractor spring, so the question is do i take this ring off and put the d-fender on? whats the deal here?

You leave the existing o ring in there, and throw the D-Fender into your spare parts drawer. When the existing o ring wears out, you pull it out, and install the D-Fender that you have in your spare parts drawer.

Not trying to be a smart rear-end, but that's exactly what I'd do. Spikes is known for making good stuff so I'd leave it be if you're not having extraction problems.

What ARguy said.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I agree with them.

I got the "upgrade" springs and o-rings from Bravo Company. Since I started using those springs, I haven't needed the o-rings at all. Just FYI.
