If you own a CZ 457 or ANSCHUTZ 5418 with factory extractors, you may have experienced the frustration of live rounds getting stuck in the chamber. This can lead to safety hazards and disrupt your shooting experience, particularly with custom match-grade barrels. Fortunately, I’ve developed a solution that addresses these common issues.
The Problem Explained
Extraction problems often arise from the factory extractors, which are made from stamped steel and can lack the precision needed for reliable operation. The issue is exacerbated in match-grade chambers where the bullet engages the rifling more aggressively, increasing pressure and making extraction difficult. Many shooters find themselves needing tools to remove stuck rounds, risking damage to their equipment.
Introducing the Talon Extractor System
To combat these challenges, I created the Talon Extractor System, designed specifically for CZ 457 builds. Made from S7 tool steel and precision-cut using wire EDM technology, these extractors offer several advantages:
Improved Grip: The Talon extractors have a tighter fit and greater contact with the cartridge rim, ensuring reliable extraction.
Durability: Crafted from S7 tool steel, they are more wear-resistant and shock-resistant than factory options.
Corrosion Resistance: The extractors are blued to protect against rust and corrosion.
Installation and Performance
Installing the Talon extractors is straightforward. Simply remove the factory extractor with a pick, insert the Talon extractor, and replace the clip. These extractors are designed to fit snugly into the bolt heads, significantly reducing play and enhancing performance.
You’ll notice improved extraction with high-quality ammunition like Lapua or Eley. The Talon system ensures a reliable grip, allowing you to confidently eject live rounds without issue. While there is increased spring tension with the new design, this is normal and should smooth out after a few hundred rounds.
Upgraded Springs for Factory Extractors
For those who wish to maintain their factory extractors but seek better performance, I also offer upgraded springs. Made from thicker spring steel, these springs provide a 40% increase in tension, revitalizing worn extractor systems.
Important Considerations
While upgraded C-clips will be available separately, I do not recommend using them with the Talon extractors. The increased spring pressure can complicate bolt operation and lead to unnecessary wear.
Conclusion
The Talon Extractor System is now available at DPGunworks.com, promising enhanced extraction reliability for your CZ 457 and ANSCHUTZ 5418. Additionally, stay tuned for my new branded chassis, designed for both right- and left-handed CZ 457 models.
