700 SA standard face bolt .308 extractor

I would like to just get the clip and avoid mods. Did an exhaustive search over the course of a week checking dozens of Canadian sites. Found a couple spots in the states that won’t ship here.
Lots for 223, but nothing for standard face.

I had to get a new extractor once for a .223 bolt face, at that time Ellwood Epps had them. Not sure if they still do, and Wes can eat a bag of di cks but that was the only source I found at the time.
That was one of the first places I checked.
Thanks
The original Remington enclosed extractor system is what makes the 700 the strongest, safest 2 lug bolt action ever made. Altering that system removes it from the stongest, safest 2 lug action ever made. Period. No other extractor system on a 700 seals up as well if there is ever a catastrphic case failure.
I wasn’t sure what you meant, so I prayed to God (PTG) first, and then called Pacific Tool and Gauge. I ordered the complete bolt with factory extractor November 15 and waited.
Just received it. Works well, but will need to seat and possibly adjust with the go/no go.
Thanks!
I know this is a few months back, but have to agree, none of these 700 clones with external extractor, or modifying a 700 for that makes a lick of sense to me, it's the single greatest benefit of the 700 design, once that's altered, what are you left with? There are better designed gas handling rifles then a neutered 700 with external extractor out there, get one of those.
There are no Remington 700 riveted extractors available in Canada except for the rare magnum one. If one of mine breaks I'm not sure what I will do as I much prefer the original extractor but I also want my rifle to work. I've heard there are some aftermarket riveted extractors available in the US but not here.
Ordered some from Numrich last year, no issues getting them then. They periodically restock, as does PTG. - dan
