Easiest way I've found to get one is send Remington a rifle that hasn't been altered in any way and tell them you lost the bolt and want a new one. In your case you'll have to borrow one, since they'll only put an original bolt in your rifle. If you want to rework your own, it's no big deal to sleeve the bolt face and put in a new extractor, either factory style or Sako style.
