I have replaced a broken extractor in a 740 (rivit type) twice with two diffenent ext's and can not get it to work. Put it back together put a round in the chamber and the bolt will not close completely. Try to slam it and although it closes further it now jamed. Force it open and a mark on the rim of the brass where the ext. should grab it. Is there something I am doing wrong or does the new one need to be ground slightly. I afraid to try that for if that does not work the new ext. is junk. Just paid 25.00 for new and 5.00 for rivit. Please help...

    THESE HAVE TO BE 'ADJUSTED' TO WORK PROPERLY (BENT TO THE PROPER CURVE). PUT THE NEW EXTRACTOR INSIDE THE BOLT CUT-OUT AND POSITION PROPERLY, KEEP REBENDING UNTILL THE EXRACTOR RIM IN INSIDE THE CUT-OUT FOR IT BUT THE 'HOOK' OF THE EXTRACTOR PROTRUDES PAST THIS RIM. BE CARFULL BENTING AS THEY ARE HARDENED STEEL AND CAN BREAK.

    thanks for the advice but the ext. I was replacing was on a Sportsmen 74 made by remington (Assuned it was same as 740) but wasnt aware the extractor is different. Did some compairing with a 740 bolt and made my discovery. I guess I should never assume. Thanks again
