Since there's a bunch of Rem722 knowledge here about extractors, I hope OP doesn't mind me asking a similar question. I've got a 722, originally it was a rusty barreled 257 Roberts. I had it rebarreled with a Douglas lightweight contour in 7mm08 back in the 80's and it's seen a lot of use. I've known ever since I got it that the extractor is not attached, in fact it looks like it never was as the little square hole in it doesn't look like its ever been soldered and it's never failed to extract. I can slide the extractor spring around just till the end of it hits the ejector button.

I've thought about having the Sako extractor installed, not sure but think this is the same as the M16 extractor everyone's been talking about here.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
