Trouble Extracting in a Savage 10

[robpiat]

I have a Savage model 10 that is having trouble extracting/ejecting 300 blk. The cases are not tight in the chamber, it just doesn't like flipping them out. If you yank it fast it'll work though. Is this an issue with the short case or do I just need to try a new extractor? Are there any updgraded extractors available?

This helped mine... Contact SSS and tell them you want another extractor and larger detent ball. Also his button head ejector and spring. Not many $ but worth every penny. Before you install the new ejector make sure the hole is CLEAN! The new one is slightly larger that the factory job. Small amount of oil and work it a few times before you replace the bolt. The ejector is extended to the edge of the bolt face. A real improvement!!!

+1 for the SSS ejector upgrade kit!

My BFG Barreled AXIS 300 Blk extracts & ejects perfectly now!!

Who is SSS? I'm having this issue too and would love to get it resolved.

ETA: Nevermind, I found it. They don't list the ejector upgrades on their site. Do you have to call them?

Yes. You have to call. Make sure to allocate some time, because you will most likely get a busy signal the first 26 (or so) times you call. You will probably, eventually get a person on the phone, though.

Well if it fixes the ejection issue then I'm willing to wait.

This shows the deference between the factory Savage & the SSS upgraded ejector.
Main diffs I can find was SSS is larger diameter, no tail & the business end is flat.
I can't tell if the SSS spring is different or not..., power wise??
The Upgrade Kit also comes with a larger detent ball that goes under the Extractor.

I can tell you first hand that it works great on my 300 Blk BFG Barreled Savage AXIS!!

Thanks for the tip hunter2!!

Boy you weren't' kidding. 10 days later and I still haven't got through on the phone. Why bother advertising on the internet when you aren't even capable of keeping up with the business it will generate.

Anybody local want to step in and do a face to face purchase and ship the parts to me?

I am going to try this fix first before getting the whole shebang.

That is, once my barrel ever gets here. I did order a pile of bearings so I'll have plenty.

That Axis extractor is definitely different from a typical Model 10 Extractor. The Model 10 one does not have the tail extension on the extractor.. Interesting additiona, and glad to hear that the bolt improvement even works in this case.
