Good article thanks.
I have an old BSA that I brought back in the 70's it was a 270 and came with a 308 barrel as well. I could never hit anything with the 270 and found out it was past its best by date so I had the 308 barrel put on by a smith in New Plymouth. Unfortunately he shared the end of the extractor off but he did weld it back together and I have shot many deer pigs and goats with. It has to be the most accurate rifle that I ever owned, When short on supplies I could shoot those quacking birds in the head at a 100m no problem at all and you could still eat them.
I no longer take the old girl out because the extractor has a crack in it where it was welded and don't want to risk it failing while on a trip. Would you happen to have a extractor for sale.
I'll try and post a photo of the bolt.
cheers.
