Bill, I believe you had told this once before on the DGBBS, and I asked if he drilled the hole for the extractor activator, and you said no. In my one picture you can see the area that has to be milled out, if not the kickers could get blocked by the sharp corners before entering where the split extractors are. When I drilled the two holes for the split extractors, I put the barrels on the gun and opened it and they extracted the shells but without that area milled out, the kickers will not have enough length to fully eject the fired hulls. I just finished drilling the hole for the extractor activator and I believe the only reason that it is there is in case of a stuck hull as the activator is activated by the for-end when opening the gun. Most times it is not needed. Here is a picture of the set-up.
