[QUOTE="JayIdaho, post: 187166, member: 2379"] There was a very sad post a few years ago on one of the gun boards. I think it was the "extremeaccuracy.com" board. A lefty lost his eye when a Sako extractor blew out of a Rem 700 that had been converted. I've removed the barrel on several 700s that have been fired with extreme overloads, usually caused by a very fast powder being accidentally used in a large case. The case head is deformed to the point that the primer pocket looks like it would accept a shotgun primer. The brass fills the inside of the bolt snout. I've seen magnum chambers expanded about .005 above normal in the case section, this makes the barrel difficult to unscrew, all of the way. When you see this, you understand what the "three rings of steel" that Remington mentions is all about. I will now do Savage bolt head conversions but no longer do the Sako conversions. I'm a Tool and Diemaker and am not challanged by the machining steps required to install Sako extractor or do Savage bolt head conversions. Flame away if you feel the need. You decide what you like. Opininions vary. [/QUOTE]
