[QUOTE="Good, post: 428003, member: 18866"] Would you mind explaining these things? (sorry) What does this mean? Again, I don't pretend to know anything. Kind of like Jeeps, I pull and install motors, fabricate spring hangers and junk, but when it comes to actual mechanic-ing of the inside of a motor I know nothing. I'm a driver, not a mechanic. I don't know what this means but I want to, and I am trying to find all this information you are talking about. This is for a .378 Weatherby size case. The 416 Rigby is the parent case and shares the .585 diameter with the .338 Lapua Magnum, roughly the same as the .378 Weatherby. Thanks Chad, it did help, but is the AR-15 style extractor the same as the M-16? I understand the M-16 style is pinned also. OK, so everyone thinks the opening of the face of the bolt this far can be done and is possible. But, it is probable that just installing a new bolt and selling my old one is a better idea, if the funds are there. Also, I like the idea of the M-16 style extractor. One last thing, does anyone have a cartridge diagram or drawing of the .338 Norma Mag? I am playing heck finding one. Just FYI, after speaking with Mr. Kiff, the reamer to get to Mr. Sloan's specs is $138. Thanks again, Tim. gun) [/QUOTE]
