it does looks like the breech end of the barrels have a rounded edge especially on the top - badly cleaned up?
how worn is the hook? and the hinge pin. I am just guessing that one or both have abnormal wear
i guess you could measure the depth of the extractor and compare it to another 16. does the rim cut look normal? if the back of the barrels were actually ground down - the extractor would have to be as well- i just doubt that was done
