no worries. that's what I thought. altho I hate to say that about my own stuff.That looks like a piece of crap I wouldn't accept.
And it back.
Sometimes I can be blunt.

He isn't raising a issue with the bolt "face", but rather the extractorGuess I'm having trouble seeing what the major issue is. If there is a high spot, a 1/4" round hard Arkansas stone will take it down. Certainly not a pretty bolt face, but anytime you magnify something many times with a very clear picture you see all kinds of things that aren't an issue.
Here is what it will look like after Greg bushes it.

Good luck... I would fix it myself or pay someone to do it....no worries. that's what I thought. altho I hate to say that about my own stuff.
Calling Remington after I shoot it.
nah, it's not the extractor, the rim of the bolt face, its torn, has a small gash.Good luck... I would fix it myself or pay someone to do it....
I bought one of those. Same gun from an "on line retailer" came to me covered in dust like it had been on a shelf for years. I did a quick clean and started shooting it. During the second cleaning, I noticed scratches and wear on the bolt face. I shined a light into the action and there it was: a "dent" with a big burr on the face of the barrel next to the camber. It looked like somebody put a screwdriver against it and whacked it hard with a hammer. I had to pull the barrel to file off the burr.The good news is that after a few hundred test loads, the gun shoots nice little groups for a factory gun. The outer ring of the boltface has some damage from the burr but it's just cosmetic. I couldn't send it back to where I bought it because I waited 6months to shoot it. That was my lesson. Now when I get a gun, I go over it with a fine toothed comb as soon as I get it.

Accuracy Unlimited 715-748-4427 Randy Gregoryanybody know of a smith who can do a Sako extractor retrofit job on this?
