Savage extractor issues on some Baity 6 ignition conversions..
CYA accuracy fool friends:
The Baity 6 ignition conversion for the E-Turbo uses Savage extractors...
These Savage extractors are designed for a right port action that also is clip fed...
So the primary extractor claw is undercut at the bottom then comes to a sharp point at the top of the claw.
Which is fine on a right port action.....
There's two issues here:
1...When this extractor is used for a left port action the primary extractor is turned up-side-down...since it's moved to the opposite side of the breech bolt...
This puts the sharp point of the claw at the bottom of the left hand extractor cut in the breech face of the barrel...
2....All Turbo extractor cuts, and the 10-X clone, are on the center line of the breech bolt..
But......
On a few of the Baity 6 ignition conversions the extractors are located a few thousandths below the center line of the breech bolt nose...
Which places the point of the claw lower on the arc of the case rim and may cause extraction issues...
Therefore................
If you happen to have one of the Baity 6 ignition conversions with the extractors slightly below the center line of the breech bolt nose, and are having extraction issues...
There's a good chance that the extractors are fine, but the primary extractor cut in the breech face of the barrel needs to be modified...
The primary Savage extractor is well heat treated and should pull 100,000 rounds without noticeable wear...

This is a picture of the Savage extractors on my Baity 6 ignition 40-X conversion......but are being used correctly since the XP is a right port action...
