Rem 700 Riveted Extractor Cleaning/Repair
So my riveted extractor Remington 700 is VERY hard to close over a cartridge. I've read up and it seems like a fairly common issue. I tried blasting out the brass & grease with a toothbrush and brakleen. Still SUPER tight. It may need professional attention. I'm in Spokane, WA. Anyone know anyone in the area that can help?

I refuse to work with Brock's Gunsmithing or Mountain Shadow Arms. I hear Roger Biesen isn't taking new work. Sharp Shooting used to employ Rick Bemel, but he's retired. I have his phone number, but I've been told he's likely to not take on any new work.
