If you smooth the finish out now, won't you have to reheadspace the barrel?

Not pretty on the part of LRI, but accuracy doesnt seem to be affected. Next time I'm at my smith I'll see if it will "buff out" HA!
The thing extracts like nobodies business though!
Problem Solved.

OP, LRI will fix it at no cost if you're unhappy with the finish. I'm actually surprised they let it leave their shop like that. Chad & Crew are very anal about fit/finish & will move mountains to fix their mistake.
I've known Chad for a long time & attest to the work they are capable of. One phone call and it'll be handled, they are only human.
Then again, it looks like a shooter!

This thread is very interesting as I'm about to pick up a Rem 700 in 300WM from a "Custom" shop.
Short story, 10 rounds of factory Hornaday 7 failed to extract.
Off to the shop and they recommend the M-16 install at $175 labor plus parts and 3 week turn around.
Today, 6 weeks later I received a VM stating work is done come get it bill is $386.
Called and was advised mill work at $225. Smith work (disassembly and test firing) $60. and $69. for parts + tax.
Not happy at all and let the owner know it, will see tomorrow how it pans out.
Glade your happy OP, what was your out the door cost?

LRI prices on the window....$175 plus $4 for $400 insurance and $10 shipping(for return shipping) plus actual shipping cost to get it to them $10. $199 ALL IN.

This whole thread is surprising to me. I have more Remington rifles than all other brands combined and I've never had any failure to extract. I even had a problem caused by the chamber and beat on the bolt handle with a rubber hammer to get the case out and that rifle to this day extracts perfectly. I've never replaced any extraction components in any of my Remington bolts. I've had some since my mid 20's, I'll be 67 next month. Maybe I've been lucky, VERY lucky, Paul

Yes I see that now. Sorry I troubled you. I should have finished the thread.

the only time I had an extractor issue was after the gunsmith opened the bolt face with a barrel change to 338 and put another Rem. extractor in it and the rivet came out a few times now it it back to a 30.06 with a new bolt many tears ago and no more problems
