The screw starts out high headed and once the extension is fitted to the barrels/action, it is dressed down along with the rib to eliminate the slot. I have observed one or two examples where the slot is just barely left and filled with solder. As in the slot was a bit deep to be completely eliminated in the rib profiling.
