remington 700 la extractor replacement

[dfanonymous]

can anyone hook me up with a tutorial or some set of instructions to replace my extractor. seems to be miss extracting and is worn and bent. not really the guns fault, think it took place from a sticky bolt a long time ago. extractor is a rivet type, NOT a clip.

i take it back, im not sure if its a rivet or not...i see no place for the anvil to go. heres some pics, im sure someone out there knows for sure.

I'm pretty sure I see a rivet in the picture.

There was a tutorial that I saw. Perhaps YouTube, perhaps somewhere else.

AS I understand it, they are single use.

Yeah it's a never use them again once got pull it out. But they can be replaced. However the rivet you think you see is what I saw as well and assumed it to be. There was no other hole for the rivet on the flip side of the bolts. Long story short I know what I'm looking at, and have no idea what I'm talking about, but I'd like to

Yea it's a rivet type. Lock in vise securely and with a fine tapered punch tap where the rivet should be until it's clearly seen. Then use a tiny pin punch to finish getting it out.

ETA: use padded or soft jaws to hold bolt in vise. I can faintly see where the rivet is. Looks like it was polished pretty heavily after peening

The magnum bolts have a riveted extractor as far as I know. Look very, very, carefully around the spot you think a rivet would be. It's blended in really well.

i agree. it threw me off because on the outside part of the bolt there is some natural wear, looks like it blends in perfectly with the worn metal, but the inside i see the pinged rivet. i think i might get a punch and try to tap it to see if it exposes itself. if it becomes a problem, ill drop if off with one of my smiths.

"drop it off" BEFORE you mess it up

Hammer it out.

I did, it showed me the little circle, which is what I was looking for.
The picture shows what I was looking for but couldn't see because it was worn down in that area

Now, correctly install a new one!

I woould be interested in your experiences installing a new one of these. At first I thought this would be easy to do but after considering how well you have to get the rivet swaged in there I chickened out.

There are just some gunsmithing tasks that require specialized tools to get the job done right. I've install hundreds over the past 25 or so years. Some of those specialized tools a hobby gunsmith might only use once or twice and if you can not make them yourself the cost of commercial made exceeds the cost of paying a working 'smith to do it for you. I didn't use a lathe or mill for the install, but they were used to make the tool I use for the install, along with a torch to harden the 'part'. Most seem to think a lathe and mill makes you a 'gunsmith'. HAA! The peg boards in my shop are covered with specialized tools, many that were made using the lathe and mill. It's a specialized anvil, to back-up the rivet head so the 'tail' can be peened. That tool has one use, installing riveted Remington extractors.
