I would like to ship my rifle and have the extractor replaced on a 300 RUM. It has the rivet type. I also want the gun checked for function and the bolt squared. It sort of looks like it has a high spot on the bolt rim face. PM me if interested.

Call LRI.
Others do a mini-16 too, I just know Mr Dixon has it dialed. His work is great, affordable, and fast.

Make sure the extractor conversion you choose has the bugs worked out.
Most Sako and M16 extractor conversions that use the factory ejector geometry are prone to issues with the case being ejected at an angle high enough to hit the scope or scope base and bounce back into the ejection port. Larger cases are especially fun with this trick sometimes.
Your Rem700 bolt is designed with the OEM extractor pretty much in line with the right lug. The ejector is positioned to work with that angle.
Aftermarket conversions have to make the ejector cut closer to 10:30 position over the lug so as to not weaken the lug. Adding a new ejector hole position will alleviate the angle issue. Some shops keep the factory ejector position and grind some relief into the blade of the new extractor to help put some correction on the way the case comes out but then you just took some of the claw's contact surface away from the case rim.
If you look at most custom 2 lug actions using mini M16 type extractors, they have moved the position of the ejector to work best with the non traditional extractor position.
Good luck with your project.

I wish that the pinned Rem 700 extractor's were not such a pain in the ass for an average Joe to change.
I sent my bolt off to a gunsmith to have the extractor swapped... when it came back with the new extractor (rem pinned) It would not eject the brass very well or at all. It would extract the brass into the receiver on Hornady brass and wouldn't extract FGMM brass at all. I am about to mail it off again...
I would try to change it on my own but for the cost of the parts and tools needed to change it... I really don not want to spend that kind of money on a learning experience that may sacrifice a few extractors.

Ejection angle issue with M700's
"What we've done is add an additional ejector. We mirror it to the top side of the bolt face. Doing so restores the ejection angle so that cases will again clear the turrets. One small issue that must be dealt with now is the increased shell pressure from the additional ejector spring. Trimming a few coils from the spring solves this. The net result is a reliably extracting gun that will "punt" the case low enough to clear the optics. Trimming the spring length also reduces the "blast radius" of spent cases. -Helpful for "gamer gun" events where limited time is allocated for brass recovery."
Thread milled bolt nose about to be drilled for dual ejectors and have the bushing installed:
.480" bolt face with dual ejectors heading to the fixture for the extractor install.
.545" bolt face fitted with M16xtr and dual ejectors

I'm sending it in...placing the order shortly. I called and talked to someone and she said I can just send the bolt it.
