    SKB Question

    in SASS Wire

    Posted

    Cannot imagine how the split extractor would affect anyone's ability to shoot anywhere near as fast as the gun is capable of. More modifications is not necessarily better. I built a Bunch of 200's with split extractors ( used to be ejectors) and never had an issue with them needing welding,

    Take nothing away from Dirt Merchant, he was doing SKB action jobs before they were popular.

     

    That said, I can see where a stuck hull might be a little bit easier to shuck with a unified extractor versus a split. No over governing evidence, just my thoughts, be that right or wrong.

     

    When two split extractors are welded together there is one moving piece, versus two moving pieces doing the work. I would imagine that the welded one piece is more reliable and efficient then two. Speed aside, I am referring to consistency in doing a particular job.

     

    Any game is about efficiency, the fewer unknowns or moving parts one has to worry about.... the more focused one can be. Another example is the Ruger Vaquero transfer bar....Some shooters say it works perfectly and are happy with leaving it in, other shooters remove it, do to the potential risk of breaking during a match. Shooters choice.

     

    Any way you look or feel about it, shooters get to do, (within the current laws) what they think will work best for them.

     

    Great sport. :D

    Interesting request,

     

    I had one, once upon a time. Sold it before I shot it. Lucky to lose just some of my money. I worked on a Chaparral Short 1876 rifle, with the 22" barrel ( the best part of the gun), in 45-75 caliber. Fell in love with the 45-75, wonderful caliber. I worked on it around one year, even replaced everything I could with original Winchester parts. Still was unreliable on shooting an entire magazine. Every 5th or 6th round failed to go off. Pretty much sucked. Took a big hit and was lucky to sell it. The buyer understood the problem with the gun.

     

    I figure you know what your doing. Good luck if you find one.

    The key to load development is EXCELLENT RECORDS!!! Note everything in your reloading notebook including date, time, weather, wind sun, clouds, humidity, all load details, etc. Change only one component at a time. Be meticulous and take your time.

    I agree!
