Remington model 6 .22 rolling block question
Everybody,
I have an old Remington Model 6 that I will be installing a barrel liner into just as soon as I finish this message. The extractor face has a groove with a rounded bottom cut into it that is about .150 wide and .040 deep. This groove, if it was for venting gas, would vent the gas directly downward into the action of the rifle. But I cannot imagine why gas would need to be vented and I can't think of any other purpose for the groove. Anybody know? Cheers, Eric |

It's been a while since I owned one, but IIRC the firing pin angles down and
hits the cartridge at the extractor. Perhaps the groove is to protect the nose of the firing pin, either from dry firing, or from being dragged across the extractor when the breech block swings down.

I don't know if he's still the man, but he was the go-to guy on rolling blocks when I was a member of the ASSRA. Thanks Ed. If I can't find out online I'll give him a call. Eric |

Cheers, Eric Greetings Paul, I don't know if that's the reason for the groove, protecting the firing pin. If the groove is just for that reason I would expect it to not be so long. Just a small hole would do just as well and be easier to cut into the extractor. But this groove extends across the face all the way so I suspect there is another reason for it. Cheers, Eric |
