Anyone one know where I can get one of these? Apparently they're not a genuine standard or magnum 'Sako' Extractor Claw, perhaps some knock-off made for a Remington bolt?
Thanks

Try firearm wreckers in Australia
Can I actually buy them directly from there though, without permits etc?Quote:

I was keen to buy off them but a few orders fell through even when ordered 12 weeks I advance so I just went in another direction.
What direction is that?Quote:

I'm 'NEEDING' an endless supply of the effin things, either that or I'll have to carry a barrel cleaning rod into the field with me every time I want to shoot a deer!!Quote:

I could get you some, what action is it ?
Remington Long Action. I broke this one on the second shot at the range today, just was well I got suspicious and took my cleaning rod with me to poke out the spent cases! What are these things worth Greg?Quote:

It looks like the extractor metal is possibly too hard/brittle ?
Have you talked to the Gunsmith about it ?
1/ .300 RUM, Brand New Norma BrassQuote:

You buying another extractor is not the solution, why should you have a prick of a time
If its set up properly, is easy to extract, the extractor should be under no stress & shouldn't ever break.Quote:

I've never heard of fired casings falling via gravity alone. Is that a loose chamber or what? Might explain the extractor claw breaking
Have you got any pics of your brass when you've lost a claw?
Do they break on loading going over the rim? or on unload pulling them out, and do you have a pic of the bolt with a good extractor. Also try fitting a case in the bolt head to see where the extractor claw sits.
Thanks mate, I agree.Quote:

I don't think the chamber's loose.Quote:

I raised the muzzle to the sky and tinkle tinkle tinkle, the empty case simply fell out on it's own!
Here's a photo of the first case that I fired when the claw broke!

No, they don't break going over the rim during loading, or on unload pulling them out! This phenomenon only happens once I squeeze the trigger!Quote:

On the failure of the second claw I made sure the claw had grabbed the rim as I tried extracting the cartridge 'live', prior to firing, and it seemed to be pulling it out of the chamber just fine.
I went through a reasonably new company who uses this particular 'smith' to do the building work on their guns. 'ALL' correspondence had to be done through this satellite person as the gunsmith proper felt too important to field calls, texts, or correspond with the customer directly!Quote:

Please let all of us know, no matter the outcome.Quote:

The rifle is faulty, the "gunsmith" should fix it or at least be given the opportunity to fix it, end of story, its not up to you to fix it....
Actually since there is a 3rd person involved ( the one who is the go between ) I suspect you will have a claim under the Consumer Gurantees Act (should not come to that)but its his job as the "retailer" to sort it no matter what the gunsmith actually says/does.Quote:

Look, I am a "blabber', cause it's 'me' that's upset! I'll probably end up doing an in depth video on the whole affair, for those who may be interested in seeing it, that way you'll get to 'see' and not just hear about it! Now, it will be lengthy, and it will take me a lot of time to do... could be several months, however, it is looking highly likely that I'll just have to wear this POS until I can afford to get another one, that I'll get built in the States, next time, as I don't believe there is a "Competent Gunsmith" in New Zealand, least, not that I've ever come across anyway, and I've been bitten that many times now that I'm no longer willing to take any more people's recommendations or any more chances with NZ Gunsmiths!Quote:

That's the real tragic thing about this whole affair. This was supposed to be the mother of all guns that'd finally end 'ALL' accuracy 'woes' for me (coming it at 1/2 MOA) so that I can finally fulfill my dreams of shooting out to 1,500m, rather, it's done nothing 'but' instill woes!Quote:

I could throw stones more accurately, in other words!
Basically I'm resigned to the fact that, yet again, I haven't got what I've wanted, and if the groups average out at 1 3/4" at 100m, then I'll just start testing them at extended ranges and determine where my maximum point blank range actually is!
It's a shame when stuff like this happens as it puts people right off customs, I have had rifles built by Scott trail grant at Trueflite and Dean here in Tauranga and all have been good honest 1/2 Moa guns, I've had a ga precision built rifle that shot really well but we do have a few capable smiths right here in NzQuote:

Now I have to decide what to make next :)
I hope you get a favourable result
Considering the money at stake here with what you have spent with the gunsmith there is no way in hell I would "wear it"Quote:

Hold them to task mate.
Defiantly don't wear the cost. I would expect as others have said it to work perfectly. 1.5" groups from a custom is also not ok. It's not that hard to build a gun that will shoot small groups. Both I have built shoot the size groups your talking about at 300.
Chase it up and be relentless! There are good smith's in NZ too
If my new gun was breaking parts like that, it wouldn't be me looking for the replacement parts to fix it.
Have a look at the debt collectors thread in off topic to see where perseverance can get you, and that was initally for $200
