I do not own a "real" L42 and probably never will.

However, I have a technical question for those who can put their hands on one fairly easily.

Given that the proper extractor for the L42A1 and stable-mates is somewhat more chunky than your basic .303 No4 type, is there a "relief-cut" in the body, at the rear of the breech ring, to accommodate this, or, is the extractor cut in the rear of the barrel tenon significantly different; (not just a bit wider)?

Or BOTH?
