Where to get a complete bolt assembly for Remington 700 vs
« on: January 15, 2008, 06:42:45 AM »
Hi, I have a Remington 700 vs .308 Win. I don't like the fixed extractor and I wanted to replace the entire bolt assembly. I looked for a few hours on various sites and I could find a pre-assembled bolt, just all the pieces. The current bolt/extractor shaves brass off the case and I need to clean the bolt face after 10 rounds.

Why don't you just get the current extractor adjusted properly? Or if you really had to, you could have a Sako style extrtactor installed, but the original one is still superior if it's installed and adjusted correctly. If you get another bolt you'll likely have to get the barrel refitted, they're not interchangable.

You just need to have it adjusted like Nobade said.
