edjahar1942 Posted April 5, 2018 Report Share Posted April 5, 2018 My Swede extractor does not hold the .473 rim of the 7x57 case. Any ideas? Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Hess Posted April 6, 2018 Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 I'm not real familiar with the Swedes. Is the bolt close to one of the other Mausers, like a small ring or a Yugo? If so, the stock extractor from that should work. Can you take some exact measurements of your existing extractor? Like from the clippy part in the middle to the claw, etc. I can compare those measurements to a small ring and a large ring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzRednek Posted April 6, 2018 Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 For what it might be worth. My Czech Mauser originally chambered in 8X57, extracts 257 Roberts just fine. Is it possible your extractor is worn or broken?? I know mine is not a Sweed but I believe the Sweed cartridge is base on the .470-.473 rim.

ken98k Posted April 6, 2018 Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 I would try a new extractor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donmarkey Posted April 6, 2018 Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 Not hard to tighten up an extractor a small amount. I stack a few dremel cutoff wheels on an arbor and dress down to mactch the radius on the part that rides in the groove. Grind down a couple thou at a time checking the fit often.

manureman Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 Don , thanks a bunch for the tip! You just saved me an extractor and let me finish a 7 mag I’d went just a little to far on a couple years ago . Figured I’d run across an extractor at a gun show and haven’t so I tried your little trick and I’m good to go ! thanks Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Hess Posted April 8, 2018 Report Share Posted April 8, 2018 I was at The Big Tulsa Gun Show, biggest in the world, (go some time as a bucket-list event, really) and there was a guy selling Swedish Mausers and not much else. I asked him what other Mauser extractors would work with a Swede and he said that a small ring, like 93 or 95, extractor "might work."
