extractor on 110 bolt guns
« on: January 16, 2011, 10:45:35 PM »
I don't have much experience with the Sav 110 bolt guns.

But I got a used one for my son and it seems real nice. I was cleaning the bolt face today after some shooting.

I pushed a small corner of rag around the bolt face and ended up pushing hard on the extractor.

I was startled that a little poppet ball popped out and the little extractor blade was ready to come out in my hand!

I felt real lucky that the ball didn't fly off and get lost in my really messy shop.

Is this normal or is there something that is supposed to keep the blade from being pushed too far out?

I suppose inside the action, the blade is contained and can't get pressed too far out to let the parts escape - but it seems like a hazard.

For a heavy handed guy (me) cleaning a gun like this, one could accidentally do it in hunting camp, lose the critical parts and be in a real mess.

I tend to clean bolt faces to assure nothing gums up the extractor or prevents it from grabbing the case rim.

I'm sure open to information and suggestions on this.

That is exactly how they work.  Larry
A gun is just like a parachute, if you ever really need one, nothing else will do.

thanks trotter!  Hmm, a thing to be careful with!  Maybe I should get a spare spring, ball and extractor blade just in case......

I loaded some brass with over sized primer pockets and 1 blowed out the primer which blew out the extractor and I lost the ball. Good news is the smith a Gander Mnt. had them in stock. I have been shoothing Savages for years and this is the first time I ever had a problem like that. I don`t think you need to keep a spare on hand. Besides, if you like me you`ll puy it up so iy won`t get lost and still never be able to find it when you need it.  ::)

Dand, when you get to hunting camp, the bolt face should already be clean. Just put a few drops of BreakFree CLP on it & let it sit for a while, then wipe it off with a Q tip & don't be heavy handed-I've been there to ::). You can sit the bolt upright for a while to make sure any excess oil drains out. The bolt is easy to disasemble & clean completely when necessary. I think the procedure is on here somewere & a search can find it.

The 110 is a great rifle for your son. As he goes forward it can be almost anything he wants it to be! Both enjoy it- Good Shooting-Jim :)

Yep Conch, in camp the rifle should be clean to start. Now I know not to be heavy handed if we've been out in the wet and junky country.  If anything I'll be vigilant on this. In this cold country I don't let much oil get in or on the bolts or we get jams and FTF. One thing I really like about the Savage is how easy it is to take the bolt apart.  Yep I'm liking the gun and so does my boy, short light and reasonably accurate with the ammo I had laying around. Need to find a load for it but I'll wait for warmer weather.
