Saco extractor

[ar15barrels]

Is there anybody local in So Ca. that will change out the extractor on a Rem 700 bolt. to the saco xtractor?

I don't recommend converting a factory remington bolt to a sako extractor.
When you change the location of the extractor from the middle of the left lug to ABOVE the left lug without also rotating the ejector plunger in the boltface, you are dramatically changing the ejection angle.



The ejection angle is a product of the extractor location combined with the ejector plunger location.
The 700 action was designed with the extractor in the middle of the left lug and then the ejector plunger is located to get the fired case to fly out of the ejection port.
Changing the location of the extractor is changing the design of the action.



I have seen lots of problems where the fired cases will bounce off the scope knob and end up backwards in the action.

If you want to change to a different type of extractor, the right solution is to get a whole new bolt with the extractor cut already made and the ejector rotated appropriately in the boltface.
PTG makes them to order.
Figure on having the headspace and maybe the endspace corrected on your barrel as well if you are NOT also rebarrelling when you get the new bolt.

Jim's Precision 707-762-3014 I don't remember what he charged me but give him a call and he should be able to fix you up.

There is a guy in Petaluma who does them if you can mail the bolt?

I'd like this guy's information. What does he charge?
