Rem 700 extractor broke, just cut the bolt for Mini M16 extractor?

[Dusty Stevens]

I look forward to updates on the subject.
The two I had would cut a notch in the rim when chambering.

Proper installation is paramount on anything

I or the ones that fool with my rigs are far far from heavy handed club fisted blacksmiths;-).
I found it no less than frustrating that both the replacement parts did the exact same thing. The original factory was dropping cases. My problem is solved and I am very happy with it.

I hope the OP has success with his replacement part.

Jim Borden sells Sako extractors, and Badger sells M-16 style extractors. Quality of either of these vendors product are you beyond question.

I asked Remington if their extractors are available:

Mine works perfectly...after fiting ...it's not usually a drop in. If yours is cutting into the rim, it may need a little work or champer on the end...or you need to open the diameter of the barrel counterbore where the bolt and barrel are a close fit...as the m16 extractor has to snap over the cartridge rim in doing so intrudes slightly outside the bolt diameter, into the solid steel of the barrel counterbore without enough clearance, pushs right through the rim of the case...marking it ..

Send it in for an m-16 extractor, bush the firing pin and get extraction timed all at the same time. Stay away from Sako extractors, a one eyed shooter that told me that.

This is from another thread, but I stand by it
Carlsbad or BoltFluter here on the forum can get you squared away no matter which way you decide to go.

I had a known smith mess up a Sako extractor conversion, well one of his employees at least. Had to get a new bolt. Go with the simplest, easiest fix. An extra extractor or 2 is cheap and easy to fix in the field just in case.

In my case the rifle was older and seen some use as an across the course rifle and it was probably the original extractor so it held up even after close to 2000 rounds after I bought it used.
