why did they cut the threads

[Peter Laidler]

I've got a funny feeling that that is the starter for the cutter as it cuts the extractor way. The extractor way can't be cut from the rear so has to be cut from the front as the body tilts to accommodate the shape. Just thinking on my feet but that's why a rifle is ZF when it is damaged externally at that point.

that would be logical if the extractor cut was not on the other side
