R Suffix - Let's forget about the Curtis Forend Release Archived Message

Let's approach the R suffix from a different direction and forget about the Curtis forend release as we do it. I have seen a large number of entries in the records with an unexplained "R". These occur in the "extractor" books and not in the "automatic ejector" books of the same period. Since the "R" is not used in the "automatic ejector" books, I would like to know if anyone has an automatic ejector gun with the "R". Could the "R" designate something simple such as an extractor gun ("regular")? It may be that the use of the "R" just happens around the time that the Curtis forend release was used and has nothing to do with it.
