arris Sako Style Extractor(25/10/2009)
I have installed several of these, both on std and magnum rifles and have found that the extractor spring seems to be weak. Also, the "tongue" on the exractor plunger, if drilled where indicated, will not put enough force on the top rim of the extractor to hold the cartridge well enough to allow reliable extraction.
I have moved the pluger hole off bottom about .005-.008" and found that helped some. In most cases, I have had to reshape the plunger also to get it to function at all.
The design is great - but it takes a lot of effort to get it to work.
I will be calling the manufacturer for their input.
Harris kit comes with bad instructions(14/06/2016)
These kits have been backordered for ages and now that we've received them we are highly disappointed in the instructions that they came with. The directions clearly indicate drilling with a drill bit smaller than the size of the stud/pin on the extractor. The dimension on the milling slot is wrong. That leads to the placement of the hole being off from their numbers as well.
We have contacted Harris Barrelworks to discuss the issues and get an update on what percent oversized the stud/pin hole is meant to be over the stud dimension. Unfortunately the person who designed them and knows best is out of the shop and will not be able to get back to us for at least a week. All in all, these errors in the written instructions leave us with less faith in the overall product.
The past '09 review by Butch was in line with our past experiences with previously available products, but as of now we don't think an alteration to the extractor to fit will be necessary like it used to be. Of course, until we get the correct numbers lined out we won't know for sure.

You MUST have a milling machine to install this. You CANNOT do it on a drill press. It is not for the 1st time user. you have to have experience in installing one. if you screw it up, you will need a new bolt. That being said. it works great, better than the Remington style. Gave it 4 stars. just because of the amount of machining and fixtures needed to do it.
