One of the Mausers I brought back from the mainland is chambered in 7.62 Nato, but my father-in-law put an insert in it for 7.62x39.  It's just held in with blue locktite, not that big a deal.  A broken shell extractor should get it right out.  Anyone have one that I could borrow briefly?

Let me know where you want to meet.

I would just shoot it like that. I had one of those before. It was fun.

Bullet diameter for 7.62 NATO is .308 in and 7.62x39 is .311 in if I remember correctly. I would have that rifle checked out by a gunsmith for the correct bore and chamber specs and any fractures that may occur from firing oversized bullets

Its not a problem i have been using those adapters for years.  Never had any bore problems. The adapter will squeeze the bullet down.

Well, I met with Heavies today, and brought home his shiny new extractor.  Thanks, Heavies! 

However, it seems that a broken shell extractor just isn't gonna cut it.  I guess blue Loktite is tougher than I gave it credit for!

Eh,no worries.  I should take it out and shoot it as a 7.62x39 at least once anyway.  Then, when I get ready to muck with it again, I'll do the old hot-lead-and-dowel trick. 

I have the proper shell extractor coming for that adapter.  I normally stock that adapter. but no one has ever asked me to remove it.  But I ordered it anyway.

Sorry it didn't work out for you..  Did you try applying a little heat to the chamber area?  I know to get the locktighted barrels off of Remington actions some heat is necessary.  A heat gun or hair dryer may do the trick.?.

not so much heat as to damage the finish, just enough to break the locktight loose.
