Gunsmithing Remington 700 Riveted Extractor

[Raven 6]

Any tips on how to install these extractors in the bolt face without destroying the extractor?

I made a small tool with an offset lobe on the front that acts like an anvil on the inside. I hold it in a vice, put the bolt over it and hammer away on the exterior. While I was typing this I came up with a easier way to make the tool. Turn it to rim diameter then make a relief cut of about .150" long X .080" deep, leaving about .060" full diameter in the end. Again hold it in a vice and bang away.

Dave would you happen to have a picture?

 

[DAVETOOLEY]

I don't. Let see if I can describe it better. Look at a cartridge case head. Make it out of steel. Widen the rim a bit. Cut/relieve where the extractor groove is to allow the rim to go under the extractor and make contact with the head of the rivet.

Could you just use a case head?

Remove the ejector.

slip the case under the extractor.

Bolt in vice.

Peen rivet against case head.

Okay Dave, I now see what your saying. However I do have the tool for hammering the rivet. Where my problem is, is putting the extractor in the bolt itself. I am doing something wrong, when I install it, it will not extract the case. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, I just can't figure out what it is.

Mark,
For an easy clean installation get the rivet tool from Score High Gunsmithing. Charlie also sells rivets that you can easily snip to length.

I know this is an old post but can a non-riveted extractor (clip in) be used in place of the original riveted Extractor? Thanks.
