[QUOTE="Niles Coyote, post: 761691, member: 11118"] The replacement extractor kit from Brownells comes with instructions, follow those on making adjustments to the extractor for proper tension. This took me an extra try to get right. First time it was too tight but with a little opening up of the ring all appeared to be well on attempt two. Now the frustrating part, putting in the rivet. This is so small it took me several minutes to get in into the hole and lined up. The dental picks came to the rescue here. You can see the rivet protruding from the bolt body. [IMG]http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k38/jpedzinski/DIY/extractor004.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k38/jpedzinski/DIY/extractor010.jpg[/IMG] Now to put that spendy anvil to use. You can see it has a leg which needs to be lined up with the rivet head. [IMG]http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k38/jpedzinski/DIY/extractor013.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k38/jpedzinski/DIY/extractor012.jpg[/IMG] Do that and with care tap down the protruding rivet. This will expand the rivet body to fill the hole and secure the extractor ring. Once done you will need to polish off and blend the rivet to the bolt body so there are no burrs. I used some small files for this. [IMG]http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k38/jpedzinski/DIY/extractor005.jpg[/IMG] Once done, I placed the bolt into my rifle and checked it to see if it was adjusted right and if it would extract cases. It did. Now it is time for reassembly. Put the ejector spring back in and the ejector, notice it has a recess that allows the roll pin to retain it. I lined that up and put it back into my poor man’s jig and tapped the roll pin back into place. I retested it in the rifle for extraction and ejection and all worked as it should. [IMG]http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k38/jpedzinski/DIY/extractor011.jpg[/IMG] Replace the firing pin assembly into the bolt body and as always when performing work on a firearm, do a safety check when you’re finished before placing live rounds in the gun.
