[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 1543552, member: 74902"] Which brings up the question.... Is it possible the smith was headspacing the barrel without realizing he was headspacing off of the extractor and not the bolt face? Possible I guess. Otherwise, you would think that the smith would have discovered the extractor problem and offered to replace it for you. I would get the rifle checked out and not replace the extractor yourself. Edit sorry. Just realized he didn't change the action threading. He probably just torqued the barrel back down... [/QUOTE]
