Extractor on Weatherby Bolt

[rbstallings]

I have a Weatherby Vanguard (pre-1981) which apparently is different from current Vanguards and Howa 1500's. In working on it, the parts tray that had the extractor, extractor spring and pin has gone MIA. I believe it is a Sako style extractor. Is there anyway to find this part, any suggestions of sources? I have called Weatherby, they are of no help. I have looked in Numrich, no success yet. Can this part be machined?

Any and all suggestions are welcomed.

I'm sure you'll find it later on in a "good safe place". If I ever put something where it's in a good safe place, that's about the last I see of it. You might check with David Tubb or maybe Dave Kiff and see if one of his extractors would work.

Legacy Sports, I believe in Vegas, can supply parts for those Howas. If they can't, I might be able to help from Japanese contacts. Good Luck.
