[QUOTE="Coyboy, post: 811582, member: 3733"] Sam, the extractor cut in your current bf will be deeper , (closer to the fire pin hole) than what is required for the extractor used in a standard .473 bf. Thus the only way to do it properly would be to fill the existing sako cut in the bolt by machining a small piece of steel to fit the existing cut slot and hole and to fill the small plunger hole that holds the plunger and spring. Soldiering them in place. Then remachine the new extractor to the given specs. Problem is this is a lot harder than it sounds and would be twice the expense of a simple sako instal on a fresh bolt. I would advise you start with a new unaltered bolt or just order a PTG bolt set up the way you want for about the same cost as what the work involved in fixing your bolt would be. [/QUOTE]
