AHH I am soo mad! I was going to reload some new shells for my 30-06. I have new bullets so I was going to see what my OAL should be. So I loosely stuck a bullet in a fired case, put in chamber, closed bolt. Bolt closed very easy. Then I go and try and open the bolt. NO DICE! I cannot open it. So I put a little bit of force on it (not much) and the extractor broke!!!!!! I need to get this fixed ASAP as I am leaveing for moose camp in 1 week!! Can anyone help??? Thanks!!!!

what kind of gun ? make and model would help
 
Loaded round stuck in the chamber? Not good... the bolt is now open but the round is still in there? if so I'd remove the bolt from the rifle so there is no way of the pin hitting the primer then take it to a smith or use a dowel to try and knock the round out of the chamber but that does have some risk associated with it so it should be done with great care and attention to which way both ends of the barrel are pointing.
 
He said it was a fired case.
If the bolt is open, just put a brass rod or wood dowel down the bore, and wack the shell out.

Thanks! It is a fired case, so there is no risk of setting it off

Also I have both pieces of the extractor, is it possible to JB weld it together if I cant get one before I go hunting? would it be strong enough? Thanks!

I don't think the JB weld would work but that's just a guess. Borrow an extractor from someone?

I dont know anyone with a Savage 110 :( Would the extractor be the same for diffrent calibers? as long as they were Long actions?

for getting the stuc kround out slide awooden dowl or coated single piece rod down the barrel and give it a few gentle taps.
as for the extractor call your local smith to see if he has any around otherwise contact a supplier and rush order one might cost a bit extra but you should be able to get it.
if i had one i would send it to you to borrow but i dont LOL.
oh yeah dont use jb weld on it you'll likely make things worse
 
find someone with a torch and silver solder (high temp kind) If you use heat shields on all but the extreme broken ends, it might get you by for the moose season. Take a collapsible cleaning rod with you in case you have to knock a case out. The shell would probably not be very tight its just that the extractor and your fingers can't grab it.

What he said. Silver Solder won't cut it. If you order the part from WGP, they can ship it to you express and you can install it the same day. Still gets you to your hunt with YOUR rifle if it's that important...unless of course you are leaving for the hunt in 2 days....
 
JB and solder are the worst ideas...the only way to fix it is with a brand new part. Hell, I wouldn't even trust welding it back together. The extractor was first built out of a solid piece of steel and that is how it should remain when replaced.

Actually, it looks like it is a piece of cast metal, not steel.

It's steel, unless it's from a cap gun. Steel can be cast and die stamped parts often appear cast.

Order a new extractor from Western Gun Parts, and don't try to chamber brass that you haven't resized yet any more.
