FULL TRANSCRIPT
So this is a question that we get asked a lot! It's about the extractor relief cut in the back of the barrel. You can see the little relief cut. This is something that you might need, you might not. As you can see we're working on a customer slide, here the extractor is protruding a little bit outside of the slide. Now whenever you're fitting the barrel you don't want the extractor installed because as you can see, pointing to the breech face here that's typically going to be your fitting point. That and the two ledges on the inside of the barrel and with your extractor installed it'll kind of interfere potentially and cause you issues while you're fitting so make sure that that's out typically when if you put your Barrel in and you put have the extractor in there after you're done fitting you'll see a little gray mark where Bob's pointing here and then that's where you would put the extractor relief cut that relief cut makes it so that there's no binding and the barrel fits in there exactly how it's supposed to.
