More .22 rifle gunsmithing questions
I'm working on a model 6 Remington rolling block .22 rifle and have
another extractor question. The extractor is in the barrel, not the rolling block. So there is a cutout in the breech for the extractor to sit in. This cutout is .135" deep while the extractor is .110 thick. This means that the face of the extractor sits .025 below the face of the breech. I would think that the extractor face should be flush with the breech face or maybe 1 to 3 thou. below the breech face. I haven't been able to find online or talking to folks who should know just how far below the breech face the ectractor face should be. Also, the spec for the depth of the chamber for the rim of the .22 round appears to be anywhere from .043 to .050, though most of the drawings I have come across have the max depth as .046 or .047. Measuring several .22 rounds, shorts, longs, and long rifles, I find that the rims measure ..040 to .042 thick. Does this mean then that the only thing that prevents gas from coming out of the breech is the shell expanding against the chamber walls? And that if the block face doesn't lay exactly flat against the breech face it won't make any difference to how much gas comes out of the breech? I want to make a new thicker extractor so that it is closer to being flush with the breech. The extractor for this rifle is pretty eroded so it really either needs to be built up by welding and re-machined or just replaced. The barrel is in place and I crowned the muzzle using the 11 degree crown. The crown is concentric with the liner bore to less than .0005" TIR. I accomplished this by using a "cat head" to hold the barrel in the steady rest. I couldn't steady on the barrel OD because the liner bore runs out to the barrel OD by about .007". Thanks, Eric |
