Hi all,
I recently bought a used 6.5g on this forum. Rifle uses a Satern Spartan 14.5" double fluted barrel with integral flash hider to bring it to 16 inches. I believe this was a barrel that Satern made back when they were under contract with AA, but I'm not sure. Rifle came with (i believe) the original matched and headspaced BCG. Gun shot amazing the first few hundred rounds, but then it stopped extracting rounds. A visual inspection of the extractor assembly looks like the lip is worn down (maybe from shooting too much steel cased ammo).
To the question: Can I get any 6.5g extractor assembly and install it on the BCG or will they not all fit? I was thinking this one: https://www.shopalexanderarms.com/Bo..._Assembly.html
Second question, if I decide to replace the entire BCG, would any 6.5g BCG be headspaced to that barrel? I know that Maxim advertises as being properly headspaced to Satern barrels, but I'm not sure this goes all the way back to the barrel in my rifle. I was also looking at a PF match grade BCG as a replacement but I don't really have the skill or know-how to properly check and/or correct headspace.
Thanks for any help.
