[QUOTE="specweldtom, post: 161385, member: 2580"] I've done a couple of the Sako extractors from Brownells. I don't think they were Tubb's. I did buy the extractors that matched the case heads. No problem with ejection. One rifle had the big target knobs with screw-on covers. As I recall, you have the correct angle when the milled slot just barely nicks the base of the bottom locking lug. The original hairpin extractor is positioned directly in front of the lug and ejects almost horizontally.There is a very strong instinct to rotate the slot away from the lug, but the Sako extractor will already be about 40-45 degrees more vertical than the original extractor. Any more just makes the ejection angle worse. The worst part of the operation is the drilling of the spring/plunger hole. The Remington bolts are hard and tough, and I worry about snapping a drill off down in the hole. My milling machine has no feel with that small drill. I did do one M-16 extractor, but it's a slower job than the Sako and the hole for the cross-pin is harder to position. Extraction/ejection was good. I'm getting used to the new format and I like it.
