Bolt Page 5 - Return to Page 1 , Page 2 , Page 3 or Page 4
I started the Extractor by milling down a piece of cold rolled steel to a thickness to match the groove I cut in the Bolt.
Next I used some layout dye and marked a rough shape for the extractor. I then used the mill to get a nice squared tip.
Next I set the bandsaw up with the table and rough cut the other side.
Using a dremal, bench grinder, file and some sandpaper I finished the extractor to final shape.
Here's my progress so far.
Next using a 3/16 end mill I cut a flat surface on the side of the Bolt to drill for the Extractor pin.
I then drilled completely through the bolt so the pin could be driven out if the extractor breaks.
The final step was to drill the hole for the Extractor Spring. I used a end mill and plunge cut the hole to depth to fit the spring.
This is the break down of all the completed parts for the Bolt. Some of them have a few rough spots, But other than that I think it came out pretty good over all.
Here shown in the unlocked position is the grove I cut in the handle Bushing for the locking pin.
The Completed Assembled Bolt.

After Playing around with the bolt in the Receiver I decided not to use an ejector. When the Bolt is drawn back to the rear most position the firing pin will hit the receiver tube end cap and this will be enough to knock the round from the extractor and it then can be dumped from the receiver.
