NO ,no no .Thats the last thing you need to do .Shortening will create more problems in so much the ejector s will not cock .

A minor timing issue?

can you help me understand what you mean by "extractors?" This is an ejector gun.

There is an issue with the fit of the fore-end wood to the metal - but that's there whether the fore-end is on the gun or off.

I'll have to look at some of the other English BLEs I have down there to see if the forends are similar.

The extractors are the pieces that lift the cases out of the chambers . The ejectorts is the mechanism that drives the extractors to throw the cases out .
