OK, I just got another 98 extractor to play with.

This one only required just a few minutes to fit, and it works great.

Far better control over the cases than the factory extractor.

And, it was a cinch to get the extractor to snap over. Leaning the thing on the buffing wheel seems to be the brainless {thus, perfect for me...} way to make short work of adding the snap-over feature. I did no filing or grinding of the claw at all on this one except a bit of filing with a rat tail file to open up the bottom to allow cases to rise up underneath it more easily.

This has been a fun "project".

I might add, that this extractor required a bit of metal removed and buffed from the top of the where it smacked into the receiver ring, and the "Vee" cut under the claw needed to be thinned just a bit.

If I ever buy one of these CZ550's in 9.3x62 I do believe the first thing I'll do is replace the extractor with a standard 98.
