Hey Gentlemen

Tell me something

I was told once by a gunsmith that it's NOT desireable or prefered to cut the the action back or open it up to expose the rear of the extractor claw, because it "can" get caught up.

Now if you look at the bolt in the first 2 416 Rigby photos there is nearly 1/2 an inch of the extractor claw infront of the rear action bridge, the bridge was no doubt cut back this far to allow for case extraction.

The next 2 photos of the 350 Rigby show the rear of extractor claw protected by the rear action bridge........notice you can't see the rear of extractor

So is this a good thing or a bad thing ?
