Dear Specialist J.D., First of all, only some M2s use the notched stud as J a bolt stop. If your M2 is one of these, the extractor arm and stud should not come into contact as long as the cover is closed during firing. If the stud is being gouged by the extractor arm, it could be caused by: * a cover extractor cam that it worn, broken or missing * a cover that is not latched or becomes unlatched during firing * a cover that is out of tolerance with the cover latch Tell your armorer ar·mor·er n. 1.
