788 Rem

Skeet, On 3-6 you asked if parts were still available for the 788.
Not much! The extractor is supposed to be the same as the 700. Brownells has after market ones that are okay. I have 6 ordered, but found I still had two in my war chest for Remingtons. I keep some Sako type extractors in the same box and have altered bolts on 700s and 788 for that installation. They are pretty reliable but you want to keep your wits about you and take your own measurements before milling if you want them to work. I had a new bolt made for a fellow and that was a little over $100. Penance for overloads.
