Default A cure to Savage Mark II extraction problems

Well, I know I'm not the only one who's had problems with their Mark II not pulling brass outta the chamber after firing. So here's what worked for me... First thing's first, clean the gunk outta the extractor slots at the face of the chamber. Then, it's off to work on the bolt.



There's a black band (C-spring) that wraps 'round the top of the bolt. Just use a little screwdriver to pop it off and then the extractors and the firing plate will come out. You'll notice how gunky it can get in there. Clean the parts, and the bolt itself with solvent, hot soapy water, er whatever. Dry everything off and give it a light oiling. Before putting it back together, squeeze that c-spring to tighten it up. Now, just put the firing plate in and snap the c-spring on top. Push the extractors in (one at a time) from the bolt-face pushing rearward and make sure it's all snapped together.

This is a very common problem with the MarkII so I wanted to share a fix.

I would like to add a couple of comments. The extractor/ejectors are made of "cheap stamped metal" that is very rough and rust if any form of moister get on them. Take some emery cloth and sand both sides of these slightly so they work freely in the slots. Them cold blue the parts and lastly spray with some silicone (or like ) after they are dry and re install. And alway keep is area as clean and dry as possible. A high pressure air compressor will usually keep them clear, between complete teardown cleaning.
My 2 cents
