Win M-70 Extractor Cut, New Style or Old?

[gunsandgunsmithing]

On a pre64, I use a woodruff key cutter and the barrel at an angle. Still less unsupported than an untouched Remington 700!

I don't have a great tool to measure, but the Pre-64 and early Classic look to be 60 degrees. Please don't take my measurement though unless confirmed by a real gunsmith.

dont know that’s not my video. Just the one I could find where he is cutting it at an angle with the same cutter I have. In his comments he says he set the mill vise at 30degrees. so that’s why I was asking what angle. I should have just bought a woodruff key cutter and been done with it. I don’t think it’s as complicated as I’m making it out to be.

I guess 30 degrees is also correct. I measured 60 degrees from the shank, which would be 30 degrees from the breech

thanks boss I’ll run 30 degree and see how it turns out.

Good luck, and be careful using my measurements. I guess I would go slow and test for fit frequently.

That is my video from 2016 on a 25-06. I have this picture of the same cutter on a 280AI M70 in 2018.


I know I shot a mule buck with the 25-06 in 2016 and an antelope buck with the 280AI in 2018.

Using a concave cutter puts that perfect radius around the chamber edge shown here. Its really the best way to get maximum extractor grip and safety
