I am looking for a 30-30 extractor for a Browning B-78. I don't believe that the B-78 was ever offered in the 30-30 or any rimmed cartridge of that size but was wondering if the Browning 1885 extractor is the same or if someone by chance made a 30-30 extractor for the B-78's

I am getting a Browning B-78 that is currently in 25-06 and I would like to play with Todd Kindlers 25 Classic.

Thanks

Interesting post. I just so happen to have a Browning 1885 in .223rem and a B78 in 22-250rem. Also had a M1885 in 7mm rem mag. Each have different extractors to match the cartridge rim. The way to experiment is to remove (very difficult to reassemble hammer springs later) the extractor and place it against the 30-30 rim. It should be able to push a rimmed case out. The radius on the extractor may not be correct against the diameter of the 30-30 rim. The Browning extractor is a good design. It solves the problem Winchester had with the original 1885 model. Just my .02 cents.
