Who works on Remington rolling blocks?

I got a No2 RRB in 22 RF and I keep on breaking extractors.

 

[OkayShooter]

Or someone that could Tig weld a build up a tab, that be orientated proper.

sourcing, making or repairing your extractor is something several of us on here could do for you. My question would be, why do they keep breaking on you? Can you shed some light on what’s going on there?

I think the extractor grove was cut, slightly off than factory, so the tab that engages the rolling block doesn't line up, and requires being bent to work..

Jason at Gunco in Ottawa will, and he would fit it too the gun.

Who works on them , pretty well anyone who has one .

Well parts are harder to get. It cost me 60$ for a trigger spring, and 87$ for the extractor I just broke. I could order another, but would be stuck in the same bind. The tab not lined up to the rolling block.

Thanks Peter. Fitting it wasn't a problem, it was bending the tab to fit, that when it went south.

You need to take that rifle to a smith and get everything properly aligned.

RRB extractors are usually quite robust. Are you sure you don't have a very tight or rough chamber or maybe a chamber that is cut for the 22 LONG instead of the 22Long Rifle cartridge?

I'm breaking them during fitting. Due to the extractor groove not in the proper spot.

I shot it with 22LR and shot fine, it isnt the orginal barrel. But it barely would eject out without needing a screw driver. I went to bend the tab to engage sooner, since it was quite worn and snapped the extractor in half, got it welded but cut the case groove wrong.

Then ordered a new one, and needed to bend it out more and snapped.

I suspect that the groove was cut wrong due to well the firing pin slot isnt at the 6 o'clock position and the CNC machined extractor, tan not lining up.

But the reciever and barrel are level.

Nothing will be right until that extractor slot is indexed properly. It shouldn't take a competent smith more than an hour or two on the bench to pull that barrel, which is very easy to do with Rolling Blocks and file that groove enough to allow your extractor to function without issue.

I know they aren't the same but they are similar. Ruger No1 barrels have an extractor that require a cut out on the left side of the receiver/barrel tenon.

If that cut out is even a few degrees from top dead center index, that extractor will bind and usually won't be able to get under the rim of the cartridge enough to get a solid grip on it.

I like the Remington Rolling Block design. Very simple but like all such mechanisms they need to have their components properly aligned to function well, as you're finding out the hard way.

Cannot index the barrel anymore, or the flats wont line up. Down side of a octagonal barrel. Fiiling the extractor groove would require a larger extractor to be made, more than the blanks you get. When I fitted it. I took better little off. Unless you tig it and re machine Only other thing I could think of. Is milling that groove on the rolling block bit more to comp.

Someone that handy with a tig could weld and build up allowing to align that tab better. But yup finding out the hard way.

You don't have to turn the barrel to properly index the extractor cut.

All you need to do is alter the existing cut to easily accept the profile of your extractor, this would be indexing the extractor cut.

This may or may not increase the width of the cut but obviously, there is metal in a place where it shouldn't be and it needs to be removed to "fix" your issue.

Screwing around with the extractor is exactly the wrong place to fix the problem. The extractor is just fine. The extractor clearance cut on the barrel isn't. So fix what's wrong.

Well I decided to look at the gun more.

I ended up making shims and shimmed the breech block. My test extractor I made, went from binding up, to operating smoothly. So I think that was my issue all along. I'm going up to my fathers on Remembrance day and we're gonna weld a tab back on the extractor, and hopefully have a working gun again.
