As most of you know, we are offering Machined steel and stainless extractors for the Model 70 and MRC's Model 99 actions. We have a limited amount of 4140 steel extractors left due to the limited material availability, but we will have for a long time, a large selection of stainless steel models for standard, and magnum in both the Model 99 and Model 70's. Those that have placed orders with us previously should all have your extractors, if not already, then any day. Here is a link to the original thread mentioning our new product. Extractors As a side note, or personal preference I guess, the use of the stainless extractor is a bit of an advantage for a quality hunting rifle. When made out of stainless, you really have endless possibilities in regards to it's finish. It can be polished, jeweled, beadblasted, or teflon coated. This basically eliminates one more item on your rifle that you don't have to worry about rusting. Even with a quality black oxide finish, in rough weather conditions, rust can still raise it's ugly head. Not to say that 416 stainless won't rust, but the chances are quite good that it won't in most circumstances with a minimal amount of care and maintenence. Thanks to all who have so graciously supported us in this new product. | ||

Received my first batch yesterday:   The photos do not give justice, the extractors are very nicely machined. All 5 of these are 4140. I will stick one on a 458 Lott and see how it works. With extractors machined so nicely, I cannot wait for the upcoming Williams actions!!!! | |||

Matt, Do these extractors have to be fitted or are they "drop-in" parts? Also, does the stainless extractor have the same amount of "spring" and toughness as the 4140 extractors? Thanks, Scott | |||

I received my order the other day for two of William's magnum SS extractors. These are nicely machined units unlike the Gunrunner junk Brownells is selling. Way to go Matt!! Thanks, again!   MtnHtr | |||

Will these extractors work on pre-64 bolts? | |||

Quote: These extractors are drop-in parts. There is no fitting required. As for the "spring" and "toughness", 416 stainless when heat treated to 35-37RC is just as tough, durable, and has an equal amount of spring that 4140 does. | |||

Quote: Yes they will. While cosmetically they look a little different on the nose, they will still function just as well or better. | |||

I must say, they look neat! What is the advantage of one of these extractors as opposed to the standard extractor of a M70 or an MRC, say?? Apart from being manufactured differently, what is the advantage this extractor offers? Sorry to be thick if this is common knowledge. I have got by using 3 M70 extractors until now. Have yet to have a breakage. On the other hand, we rifle nuts are always looking for that last gizmo that will definitely improve our toys.  - mike | |||

How about for Mausers?????? | ||

Will these extractors be available thru Brownells sometime in the future? Are you planning on making extractors for others like Mauser, CZ, etc.? Thanks for info! | |||

Quote: The advantage that these extractors offer is improved reliability in not only extraction, but feeding, and ejection. The casted extractor lacks the inherent grain structure that is present in a part that is made from solid barstock. This feature allows the part to flex as it is being installed onto the bolt, which is where it gets the most amount of stress, and the act of closing the bolt over a cartridge that has been single-fed into the chamber without retaining a "memory". If the casted extractor does not have the proper amount of tension on the cartridge, it can break when being forced over the top of it during a single-cartridge-feed situation. What it all boils down to is rock-solid reliability, and insurance knowing that you haven't just dropped 10 year savings on a hunt, only to have it ruined because of a $30.00 part.  | |||

Quote: Brownells has our extractors in hand right now, and you should be soon seeing them on their website and new product flyer. As far as the Mauser, we have been giving it a great deal of consideration, and will most likely be getting some prototypes running in the next few weeks. Up until now we figured that the aftermarket was pretty flooded with surplus supplies of these things, but we've been enlightened recently.  As for the CZ, I haven't personally examined one close enough to determine whether this will be feasible or not. If someone would like to donate one to an R&D project, we could certainley determine whether or not it would be possible to produce these as well. Of course if we could not, they could certainly have it back. | |||

Matt are there any plans to produce your extractors for MkII Rugers. I have 6 model 70's but my main hunting rifle is a modified Ruger and it would be nice to put a top quality extractor on it. Mark | |||

Quote: We really don't have any plans for that one, simply because I just haven't heard of a lot of cases of those failing. Not to say that we would completely rule it out, but it's not too likely. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.  | |||

Doesn't Ruger make the cast MRC 1999 extractor also. | |||
|
| one of us |
Quote: The extractor on the 99 action is MIM'd, or Metal Injection Molded. Ruger uses an investment casting for their bolts and receivers. Two totally different processes. As far as I know, Montana didn't use Ruger for their extractor production, but I could be wrong. You would have to ask Dan or Rod Rodgers about that. | |||
