[QUOTE="LoneTraveler, post: 1131323, member: 77249"] The extractor is the main problem with the Remington 721, 722. They are hard to find at times. I lost the old gunsmith in my area who had quite a stash of 722 721 extractors. His parts just seemed to disappear. I would suggest that you change the main spring in the bolt to. These guns are over 50 years old now. My dad's 722 was giving him problems with popping the firing pen dent out of the primers and the gun went to about 2 inches at 100 yds. I had the main spring replaced with a short action 700 Remington and it cured the holes in the primers and the gun went back below 3/4 inch groups at 100 yds. Good Luck in getting the old shooter back working great. [/QUOTE]
