| How far above the front lip of the bolt (not the actual bolt face) should the extractor stick up on a 91/30? Should it actually be flush to that outer rim? |

My M91/30 Ruskie is in very nice shape.Your extractor has the correct distance from inside hook to bolt face when you can neatly snap a cartridge case into the bolt, and it is held w/ almost no slop. I can twirl my bolt with the casing on the boltface under the extractor hook, and it stays.
The outside top of the hook on my extractor stands about 62 thousand proud past the lip on my boltface. This is not an important number, tho. How well your extractor grabs your cartridge, is. If you peer into the breech of your rifle, you can see a little arc shaped cutout in the barrel where the proud extractor can go. The hook is what it is to firmly grab the cartridge, and as long as it doesn't crash/bottom out in the semicircular clearance groove in the barrel, "you're good." The design is for the extractor hook to stick out a little past the end of the bolt. It's planned like that. |

Seemed like it stuck up too much. Thanks again |
