Does the Remington 7600 have the same extractor? I'm thinking of getting one but I like tough tools.
In an older Remington...I've never seen it happen (broken extractor)
Qualification and lot acceptance testing?how exactly would Remington know these things were junk
That is ejection, not extraction. One is the prerequisite for the other. Personally, I prefer a standing ejector, then I can tailor the ejection or non-ejection as necessary.tosses cases just fine
In my opinion, this is a red herring. The design intent of a brass case is to serve as a pressure seal, and to rupture at over pressure. In a properly designed action, the gas from this rupture is channeled safely away from the shooter.three rings of steel
Benelli Shooter said:Uncle Mike, you may not agree that the design is fragile. But, it is a reasonable question. Most people who hunt dangerous game will not use a gun with a Remington style extractor
The case can fail in any action. I was next to a guy shooting a Rem. 40X in .30-.338 magnum when a partial head separation happened. He didn't get hurt.In my opinion, this is a red herring.

In a Remington, the case cannot fail. Therefore the action or barrel has to fail. Not a likely scenario, but a far worse one.
The test below has everything to do with action design.The above case failures have nothing to do with bolt and receiver designs. They're the result of improper reloading processes and how the case fit the chamber.
