Thanks for everyone’s replies/help. Just wanted to follow up with everything. So ultimately I have thus far only chamfered the ejection port on the rear bridge. It’s flinging the cases significantly better just with that. I’ll take my time and rework the extractor at some point, it’s real...

Awesome! That’s the information I was hoping to find!

The extractor has had just a smidge removed off the bottom corner. I haven’t tried throwing one into the chamber and seeing if I can get the extractor over the brass. Weatherby brass isn’t cheap and I sure don’t want to destroy it playing around. Also the extractor is under pressure when a...

Ok, I’ll try my hand at modifying the rear bridge. I thought that was a likely fix. I’ll measure how far the extractor is moving when a case is in the bolt face. Sounds like a couple of thousandths is about the correct movement. I’ll measure and start filing and modifying as necessary. Thanks!

Ok, how much to bevel? And at what angle, I’m guessing a 45 looks about right? Is there a source for ejectors that are long? Or do I need to plan on modifying an original? Ok, how to tell if extractor was properly fit? I’m not Mauser savvy. I think I’m on the right track with a fix, I just...

I didn’t modify the extractor. That was all done prior to me. It was ground or filed in a larger radius to what looks like about the correct size. Hence my question about how much the extractor should be displaced when it latches onto the case head. The locking lug on inside has a groove milled...

First time posting here, but long time lurker. Howdy gents, have an old project that needs finishing. It started life as an Interarms mark X in 25-06 and was rechambered to 257 WBY. (I’m guessing on the 25-06 part) This was all done prior to me and likely done sometime in 80s as the import...
