M16 Extractor in a Win70 Push Feed .375

[Basser2x]

I have a ‘89 win 70 in 375 that is a push feed. Has anyone here upgraded their extractors to the M16 style?
I see LRI can do the upgrade but was looking for feedback from people who’ve had it done. Never paid any attention to the extractor when hunting in North America with her, but something about African game makes me look at that tiny blade!

I’d be interested in more info if anyone out there has any.

Interested too!

LRI does great work so feel at ease if you choose them. They've done quite a bit of work for me.

No comment on this specific modification though.

I met a fellow in Moz last year that seemed very happy with the M16 style that he’d had installed on his M700, but was looking for real experience on the m70.

Yes, I had McBride’s Gun Works in Texas do it to my .375 Holland & Holland Magnum Remington Model 700 Kevlar Stock Custom in 2023. @Red Leg was a huge help in directing me to them. They did a brilliant job too.

Reach out to Ty @MOA rifles. They likely can do it for you. They are in Oregon.

This is based on a REM 700.

I’m not following the reasoning to change a Win 70 PF extractor to an M 16 style extractor. Common to do that on a Rem 700 which has the notorious nub extractor but not for the M 70 PF which already has an extractor similar to the M 16 style. It will not change an M 70 PF into a CRF anyway.

Additionally, doing that to either the Rem 700 or the Win M 70 runs the risk of raising the case ejection angle which may cause the unacceptable condition where the case hits the mount, scope tube or scope turret upon ejection. No matter, knock yourself out with whatever you want to do. IMO, it wouldn’t be an upgrade on a M 70 at all and may cause the other issue as described.
