Help me with a Rem 700 6BR extractor problem.

[willismi]

Fitted my Rem 700 6mmBR with a McM A5 stock with a Badger Ordnace bottom metal that uses AI 308 mags. Feed perfect and extracts perfect as long as the round still has the bullet in the brass,unfired rounds). When ejecting the spent brass thats when I have some trouble. It just dont eject the brass from the chamber unless the bolt is cycled at the exact right speed.

I know someone here has seen and probally solved this problem already. Any suggestions??????

Sako extractor. That little spring steel piece that passes for an extractor is a hit and miss replacement. I am not a smith, but a friend that is a good one said that Remington tells you that there is no special way to put in the new one to make sure you haven't tweeked it. After all they only cost, what $7? They say just install another one. I really don't know if the friend is pulling my leg or serious, but the one I replaced will extract a cartridge far enough for me to grab it. Good thing I only want to shoot it single shot. I have thought about having the Sako extractor cut and Sako extractor installed, but some say that it seriously affects the ability to handle blow back gases so some donot like it. I figure that I will probably have the Sako installed when I think about it and am willing to tie the gun up for a few weeks. Hope somebody has a better anwser for US. JimDee

The problem is the ejector not the extractor.
Remove the extractor from the bolt and lengthen the cutout in it. Remove material at the back of the slot till the ejector is even with the front of the bolt nose.It works for me.

Dave -- straighten out your "ejector/extractor" usage -- I dont know what you are saying...I THINK I know what you are saying, but not sure.

You are attempting to let the elector plunger move 50thou mor further forward?

Rick -- Im guessing the ejector spring is stock.

I'd start cutting coils off it to soften the ejector push -- a lighter push might help the short case to not fall out of the BF on ejection.

Cutting the spring is the easiest thing to try first.

your right it's the ejector that needs reworking.,sorry for the misspelling)
Leave the extractor as it is.
Cutting some coils off the ejector spring will help also. go easy on this one.
Lengthening the ejector is easy. Just grind the notch a little further to the rear. This takes some trail and error till it is flush with the front off the bolt nose. Then I would start cutting some coils off as you already loose some spring pressure.

I agree with Dave. Steve Satern told me about that little trick. It certainly isn't something I would have thought of but I tried it and it worked. By allowing the face of the ejector to sit level or a couple of thousandths proud of the nose of the bolt, it prevents the case falling off the extractor as it is withdrawn from the chamber. It's also a very simple DIY modification to do with a pin punch and a dremel tool.
