    I've got no idea either mate. I've heard (second hand) of one other guy breaking his and he, 'allegedly' had exactly the same modification done to his rifle bolt, AND by the same gunsmith, only (rumor has it) he got about two years out of his!

    What cartridge is it ?

    Is it hard to extract ?

    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 Brass

    2/ No, simply point the muzzle skyward!

    3/ Maybe?

    4/ No, I'm not allowed access to this, so called "gun smith", never have been, never will have. Gotta go through a satellite 'third party', who know's nothing either!

    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.

    Something is wrong, replacing the extractor isn't the answer.

    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.

    I'm curious who is the so called gunsmith?? And how come you can't speak to them directly?

    I don't think the chamber's loose.

    When I got home, the first time, I was about to stick a cleaning rod down the barrel to knock out the fired case, as I thought it must've been a hot load, and that, that caused the case to jam in the chamber and the claw simply broke trying to pull the case out (despite it being the minimum load I had for my ladder test, and the chronograph not indicating an exceptionally high velocity!) 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!

    No, I don't have a pic of the bolt with a good extractor, and I have tried fitting a case in the bolt head to see where the extractor claw sits, and there's next to no play between the face of the bolt and the extractor claw.

    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!

    At this stage I'm not prepared to release the identity of the smith, or the name of the company I used to have the rifle built, as negotiations are still ongoing, however, I do expect that may change sometime in the future!

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

    There has been way to much "precious protection" in the past over this sort of thing because Guys didn't want to "upset" people or "jeopardise" their means of refund/compensation....

    All this does is allow more people to be put in the same position they find themselves in......good times....not...

    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.

    Personally If I had spent that much and got that result there would be some Major shit raining on someone

    for that sort of money I would also expect all the bullets to go thru one hole by themselves
