szihn nothing wrong with the Rem extractor. It has the same bearing area as the much vaunted Sako extractor. The bite in when extracting and are less liable to jump the rim than the Sako type. Put an M16/Sako type in and you break the gas sealing so the action would need a complete redesign as far as I know. I have heard of them breaking, also heard of all other types failing. I have had Mauser/type extractors fail. The only Rem extractor I have had fail in part was on a 788. The retaining clip was broken through but it all stayed in place and extracted reliable. Just would not eject properly as there was not enough tension on the rim.

Agree with the Model 30A

That little Rem spring steel C clip extractor does an amazing job. I’ve never had one fail. Ever. In the case of that 7600 Police I spoke of earlier, the problem was not with the extractor. Remington buggered the bolt head / bolt face machining so the bolt face woudn’t retain the C clip...... One can not extract if the extractor will not seat in the bolt face C clip groove. Its a really ingenious design. Simple and highly effective. BUT one needs to manufacture it properly in the first place.

I have heard of Rem extractor clips breaking but only after years of neglect and rust eats through the clip.... but that isn't the gun’s fault nor is it a design flaw. I personally have not experienced a broken C Clip and I caution that the “I have heard of” is only citing Internet heresy.
