I have "heard" that a few people out there don't like Sakos due to the extractor blowing back through the bolt/bolt race ways into the shooters face in the event of case failure. I honestly have NO idea how this can possible happen, since the bolt covers the race ways when a round is chambered. I have several Sakos and I just don't see any danger whatsoever. It would take a heck of a blow up in the catastrophic type explosion to get the extractor to come out of the bolt, squeak down the race ways, then back in your face. I think in the event of that kind of blow up, the extractor flying back would be the least of your worries. I think you would be missing a head and hands, so you probably wouldn't feel the extractor hit your face. Thoughts? Flinch
