Buffalo Classic-help with how to replace extractor with ejector.
« on: April 02, 2013, 06:10:25 PM »
I'm sure this has been discussed before, however I am new to this site so bare with me. I just bought a Buffalo Classic in 45-70. I use it in cowboy competitions so speed is of the essence. I want to find info on how to replace my extractors with the old style ejector setup. Does anybody know where I might find specific details on how this would be accomplished? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome! See the factory conversion in the FAQs sticky, it's not just a matter of replacing parts, the underlug has to be machined to accept the parts first.

It might be easier to run an add in "Want To Trade".  Some of us prefer extractors.

Mine was the other way around. My 45/70 ejected and I wanted to get the brass in hand for reloading.
My bull barrelled .223 however had an extractor. As I was not concerned with saving .223 brass I just swapped them out.

Norminator:  was the swap out just a matter of swapping the parts, to was machining involved, like Quick did on one of his?

A factory extractor won't function in an ejector underlug with machining the underlug for the extractor cam, it's not just a matter of swapping parts, you can convert an ejector to not eject tho just be removing a little material as shown in the FAQs, I've done more than a dozen of both ejector to the factory style extractor conversions and conversions from factory extractor to an ejector, both require machining the underlug and drilling for the roll pins to make the conversion.

Thanks for all the input! I think I will take it to my gunsmith and let him deal with it. Thanks again

 ???  Hope I havn't misled anyone. I have to go back and read the FAQ myself cause I don't remember doing anything too involved, but it is sometimes pretty amazing how bad my memory is getting.
Couple weeks ago I was thinking it would be nice to have a mould around 300-350 for my 45-70, in addition to the 405 grn I usually use. Turned out I already had one, new in the box, that I had forgot I had purchased already.
