Anyone have any experience replacing the extractor on a Ruger M77? The ejector works well. The extractor isn’t holding the 7mm case long enough to toss it out if the action so it just lays there patiently waiting fir me to come to its rescue. I’ve poured over the internet without much success.
 
Probably just need to adjust it. Take it off the bolt and put a little bow in it so that when it is reinstalled the extractor sets a little closer to the center of the bolt, gripping the case a little tighter. I have run into it on other Mauser style actions.
 
My Ruger MkII 30.06 occasionally leaves an empty laying on top of the magazine area; I have always believed it to be the ejector. If I move the bolt briskly to the aft stop, it works fine. It only seems to malfunction at the range when I do not want to chase the brass.
