Does anyone know where I would be able to send the bolt off my Remington 721 to have the Sako conversion done? The extractor is missing and apparently they are non-existent anymore. I'm willing to ship the bolt off to anyone with the experience and skill to do the job right. As best I can tell this is a one shot deal. None of the gunsmiths in my immediate area have the tooling required to do the job.
Any help would be much appreciated. |

Any qualified gunsmith should be able to perform the task. Some may refuse to do it due to liability issues (serious design alteration of the bolt).
I think it would be easier (cheaper) to have a smith or machinist modify the bolt to use a 700 extractor. I can't remember if it uses the rivited extractor or the rivitless one. But these parts are readily available. I could be wrong but am pretty sure that the 700 extractor is not a drop in part for the 721s. But for the $20 bucks it could be worth examining carefully to see just much they differ & if it could be made to work with a little "adjustment". MLG |

Check with someone on Benchrest Central in the gunsmithing forum. There's an active thread there right now on this topic. I know a guy here that does the conversion, but I don't know how long he would take to get it done. The other idea I have right now is to check with Greg Tannel in Colorado; search on Gre-Tan. |
