10/22 extractor: Volquartsen "Exact Edge"?

i figure if your having reliability issues, its a good place to start. If your gun is running fine is it really worth it? I have 2 10/22's with it and 2 with the factory extractors that I sharpened myself with a small file and whetstones and all of them run like clockwork. Maybe the vq ones will last a little longer before needing sharpening but I haven't noticed yet.
 
I've only run about 200 rounds through it with only one initial failure to extract. Did some rapid fire testing and everything ejected perfectly. Really happy with it, especially considering my stock extractor had a failure to extract 1 every 20 shots...
 
I bought the whole bolt tuneup kit from Milarm. The stuff isn't on their website. I just emailed them with the part number. I've not installed mine yet. My 10/22 is performing miserably right now, despite a thorough cleaning, so I thought I'd give it a try.
 
Yeah whatever is happening to my 10/22 is multifold. But this mod can't hurt and its cheap as hell.

Most of my problems appear to involve magazine seating. There is a fair amount of play on the plunger-side of the magazine well. So much so that, if I jiggle the magazine, I can remove the magazine without Pressing the mag release lever.
