Hey guys, long time lurker, first time poster! I had a quick question, probably more geared towards the old timers. I've got an old Rem model 721 that recently stopped extracting cases from the chamber. You guessed it! Broken extractor. After doing some research, it appears that the 721 extractor hasn't been made in about 40 years and is, understandably, scarce. Being unable to find one, i'm wondering what would be involved in simply using a model 700 extractor in my bolt. Mine had a non rivet type, and model 700 clip in types are easy to find and cheap. I know that they are different shapes, does anyone have any experience with this? I found a post where "Sicero" did this with a drill press. http://benchrest.com/archive/index.php/t-73206.html?
The post i mentioned is the 5th one down. Thanks guys! I'd like to avoid the Sako/ M16 extractor route, and I would appreciate any help at all!
