6.5 CM extractor

[Texan79423]

I have a model 10 LE that I had to replace the extractor and ball on. Now my model 110 6.5 CM that won't extract. I can't remember where to buy the kit. Any advise appreciated

You replaced it already & now it won’t extract? If that’s the case, I doubt another will fix it.

On the other hand, if you are asking where to buy, because it hasn’t yet been done, better to do a new extractor with an over sized bearing ball. A .140” ball works perfectly. Can find 9/64” steel balls, or a 3.5mm works well also. I use the Silicon Nitride 3.5mm bearing balls from Amazon.

Here’s the full kit. https://www.gunshack.com/savage-parts/savage-bolt-head/savage-bolt-head-parts-kit
Brownells has the just the Extractor. https://www.brownells.com/rifle-parts/bolt-parts/extractor-parts/extractors/extractor-prod12817.aspx

I need to make this a little clearer. I have a savage in 308 that I had to replace the extractor and ball on. Now my savage in 6.5 CM is not extracting spent cases. I wanted the bigger ball set and not an original sized extractor and ball. I believe the ball that works is a .940 size ball. Is that correct?

.140

[Dave Hoback]

Yes... .140” or 9/64”. 3.5mm also works quite well at just under .138”.

These are the standard 9/64” https://www.amazon.com/uxcell-Precision-Stainless-Bearing-3-57mm/dp/B07QC135BH/ref=mp_s_a_1_18?dchild=1&keywords=silicon+nitride+bearing+ball+9%2F64”&qid=1629245942&sr=8-18

These work well, 3.5mm Tungsten Carbide. https://www.amazon.com/3-5mm-Tungsten-Carbide-Bearing-0-1378/dp/B00QFMTQB6/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=tungsten+carbide+bearing+ball+3.5mm&qid=1629245738&sr=8-3

These are what I use. https://www.amazon.com/3-5mm-Silicon-Nitride-Ceramic-Bearing/dp/B07BS98XLH/ref=mp_s_a_1_6?dchild=1&keywords=silicone+nitride+bearing+ball+3.5mm&qid=1629246067&sr=8-6

Thanks for all of your help. never thought of just ordering bearings

[wbm]

FWIW: Do not be surprised if the larger bearing does not fix the issue. You may find that the ejector configuration is more the problem than the bearing.

[Dave Hoback]

Very possible. Texan, like WBM said...if so, my first reply listed the Extractor sold by Brownells.

[Texan79423]

Just my luck. Every place is sold out of the Kit that works.

Just get the Extractor & the larger bearing ball, it’ll be fine after.

And save a few bucks.

Often replacing the ejector plunger and ejector spring cures that problem too.
I try to change all the parts when the dropped case problem starts.
