Does anyone know if the pre-64 Model 70 extractor and collar will fit the post-64 CRF Model 70. I have a few of the former and none of the latter. | ||

Extractor yes. Collar, I have no idea; kind of doubt it though. PA Bear Hunter, NRA Benefactor | |||

The post 64 controlled feed collars are a bit different in that they have a protrusion that captures a little gadget that's purpose is to deflect any excaping gass down the left lug raceway.

Part of the extractor assembly on my M70 LH 375 Safari Express broke and jammed the bolt. It was cast. I can't recall which part broke. Ed Lapour (Bremerton, WA, ACGG)) repolaced it with a forged part. (Wisner?) Ed said that the gas blocking "gadget" was an unnecessary lawyer part and left it out. That was 20 years and hundreds of rounds ago. | |||

I know I had that little gas block get loose or break and lock up the bolt on the first 416 I had. But in what has to be thousands of rounds since, in almost twenty other Winchester Classics I have never had it happen again! Kinda like the bolt handle coming loose, it doesn't happen often, but when it does you are up the creek! | |||

I replaced the extractor on my 375 H&H Classic with a Wisner stainless part when my gun was brand new. I can't remember now why it was important to do that but at the time I thought that I should.

I seem to recollect reports of New Haven releasing a batch of brittle extractors years ago that could potentially break at an inopportune time; installing the forged Wisner extractor was the recommended solution. Jim "Life's hard; it's harder if you're stupid" John Wayne | |||

fwiw, Wisner claims he never made a Post-64 Classic Spring Steel Extractor nor does he have any plans to do so. He does make Pre-64 extractors... PME is the company I bought the one for my first .375 H&H from and they have since gone out of business. Just talked to Wisner's the other day on this very issue...fwiw Regards, Matt. | |||

I thought it was a Wisner replacement but obviously not. Now I have no idea who the mfg was... Jim "Life's hard; it's harder if you're stupid" John Wayne | |||

If the gun is yours and you already have the part, why not just try it? Not trying to be a smart-a, but sometime I miss the obvious too. One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got into my pajamas I'll never know. - Groucho Marx | |||

I have purchased new extractors directly from Williams Firearms in the past.

Well, I can't blame it all on my age, I just turned 58 yesterday. I would have sworn that I bought it from Jim.

Wisner has lost his memory then. When I get home I'll photograph one still in his packaging. | |||

Does anyone have any experience with Midwest Gun Works? They advertise original Winchester parts, for what that's worth. | |||

OK, it's my memory not Jim's Here's a photo of my original blue steel extractor in the William's bag that my replacement SS one came in.
