That second extractor broke the same way my 8x68 broke, I thought age fatigue but my gunsmith friend said it was caused by people (somewhere in the fifty odd years pre me) slamming the bolt closed to force a non magazine fed round to chamber without enough clearance in the "C ring cutout" to...

If it doesn’t matter what you wear , I think I can recommend NOT wearing a yellow mankini and Doc Martens , those on here who know who I’m referring to will understand Gumpy

If someone wants, as in really wants, that rifle they will happily pay the asking price. And as long as they aren’t putting others in need/ deprivation, then they can spend their money on whatever they want. I wouldn’t pay that as I don’t need another one and I could build my own for a lot less...

Even just photos of the parts would do for now Gumpy

Enquiring minds want to know, what is the recoil like on that , even with the muzzle beak I’m not sure I’d like to fire it. Gumpy

I could be pedantic and say it’s "your writing is illegible "……. I’ll see myself out……. Gumpy

So it wasn’t just me who couldn’t understand what was said Gumpy

I use the hornady collet puller for my….er…errors Gumpy Also have a hammer style one for one off's
