I hope this is the right forum for this question...

What is the difference in a Win. Classic Stainless and a Win. Extreme Weather?

The classic stainless has a 24" barrel in standard calibers, the Ext Wx has a 22" fluted barrel.

The classic has a MIM extractor, the Ext weather has one of spring steel.

The classic has 2-piece steel bottom metal, the ext wx has a one piece unit.

The classic has the original open trigger, the Ext wx has an enclosed box style trigger, both great triggers imo with a preference to the old style for simplicity and ruggedness.

The extreme wx has fiberglass stock that is quite stiff, the clasic stainless has a injection molded stock.

The ext wx has a aluminum mag follower, some of the classic stainless have a synthetic follower.

Owned and hunted with both for many years, both very good. If choosing today, Id opt for the Ext wx for better stock.

Thanks for the info. I have the classic stainless and was just wondering, more than anything else.

I have got a question, how can you have a MIM extractor when it is stainless claw type extractor?

The classics used a metal injection molded peice of metal for the extractor. Right before New Haven closed its doors, they swiched to spring steel like that used on the pre-64. I believe they were made by williams. The South Carolina guns also used spring steel. Not sure about the Portugal versions. Not a big issue unless routinely snap the extractor over the case rim by not feeding via magazine. The extractor to bolt fit is important to good reliable feeding.

The MIM extractor had raised lines molded into the face of the claw if you wish to know which kind you have. I believe my WSM's had two lines. A bunch of us kept Williams in business prior to them getting the New Haven contract. Probably the only rifle I owned that truly needed a spring steel extractor was a .375, just because it was a .375.

Again thanks for the info. I know my rifle has the synthetic follower and I think it has the MIM Extractor. There is 1 line across the face of the extractor that stops where the bevel starts. It is an indented line, not raised.

Thanks again.

It's MIM. I relied on my memory and it made the lines outies instead of innies.
