[QUOTE="Bret GRAVELINE Graveline, post: 2997473, member: 108926"] If that scares a smith of he's not one, I not trying to pick on anyone here, but opening a bolt face used to be gunsmithing 101, remove the extractor and plunger make the cut, I did over a dozen never had any issues, when the short mags hit the scene, I rechambered several 308s to WSM, had to makes some adjustments on the magazine box, and didn't have to make any modifications to the extractor, just replaced the original 308 one, they all fed and extracted perfectly, I even opened up a couple in the 338 Win to 338 laupua, same thing no modification to the extractor, but I did polish out the angleled cut to help slide over the cartridge rim, i had to modify the mag box by lengthing it, but usually just replaced the original one with a 300 weatherby box when I could get my hands on one, [/QUOTE]
