We have a winnah!!!

And the consequence of that is the toggle ducktail hits the frame when racking the barrel extension, instead of dropping behind it. I have to rack it like an M1900 (pull back then up) rather than like a P08 (just pull up).

So I want to explore various remedies; shims, weld build up, peening, etc.
