Is this a ptg bolt?

[urbanrifleman]

I need to replace the extractor it appears. I'm not sure what it needs.

sure looks like it--mine doesnt have gap between body and head...??

Hard to say if it's theirs or not but it does appear to be a Sako extractor cut and there are about 3 sizes. Measure the length and width of the cut.

What Mike says. Small, medium, and large Sako style extractors.

.55 long and .174 wide

.55 long and .174 wide

Sounds like the PTG medium that's .171 wide. It's the most common and works with 223 and 308 bolt faces

Mike beat me to it. I'll add you might have to stone the sides of the extractor so it moves freely.

Is there supposed to be a pin?

Midway or Brownells might have the kit too. I've got an extra kit on the shelf if it'll help.

That is very kind of you. I'll get one ordered.

Dave thanks for the tip. I knew there was a little fly in the ointment with mine.

When I installed them I gave .005" a side clearance.

No, the relief in the plunger allows it to slide partially over the extractor and hold in down in place. It'll all make sense when you have one in your hand.

Yes, they're captive without a pin. Tough to see in either pic above but the little shelf on the plunger pin goes over the top of the extractor when assembled. That holds it down and the larger "dowel" on the bottom side of the extractor itself keeps it from coming forward. Easier to understand when ya see it though. But it's held down and back, making it captive once installed.

That sure looks like a Holland's bolt handle. -Al

Yes, and if I had to guess, I'd say it's a ptg bolt based on the little mark left behind the bolt head...but it's more of a guess than anything. Not sure if Kiff offered the Holland handles but I know Dan Armstrong did. So, I'd guess it's a ptg bolt with a Holland handle, installed by Dan...Just hard to say all that for certain though. The extractor is almost certainly the right one based on L x W. I think that's the main thing.

Best to install in a plastic bag. That pin likes to go into orbit.
Not Dan's work. He won't work on a bolt with a Sako extractor. He was kind of a jerk about it when I asked.

He's done em for me..fwiw.

Bolt and action work supposed to be Gretan.

I don't believe it Dan's work...no TIG.
