I have a Savage 110E manufactured in Sept of 1987. It a 7mm and my extractor is broken and I can't get it apart to see what broke, so I'm looking to maybe replace the head and all the extractor parts. If I understand correctly, it appears Savage changed the bolts to a small firing pin in 1999.

I haven't seen any replacement heads that have a large firing pin. If I buy a new bolt head with the small firing pin, does that mean I should buy a new firing pin and the retaining pin for that? Or, is it better to just drill out the firing pin hole on the small bolt head and and will that work okay? Is there anything else that I should be aware of?

I'm not a gunsmith or anything. I do have access to a drill press. Just want to get my gun to extract spent casings again. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
