Title: looking for a gun smith to put a new extractor spring in my 300 rum
Post by: shorthair15 on April 12, 2013, 10:18:19 PM: i had a custom built 300 ultramag a few years ago. the gun is a tack driver. but it does not extract the brass the best some times. the guy who built it does not build rifles any more looking for a good gun smith that does good work to install the spring for me. thanks

Post by: shorthair15 on April 13, 2013, 09:45:13 PM: it was a extractor problem. i took it to a guy in winlock he was recommended by another member on here. he put a new spring in there he said the other spring was to weak. im good to go now. he put in for 5 dollars for the spring. funny thing is this a 2000.00 dollar custom gun i had built. it just would not eject the brass worth a darn unless you cycled it quick and hard. this is my elk canon :chuckle: the guy who built it does not build or work on rifles any more or i would take it to him. thanks
