His original gun is an extractor gun, so there's no need to remove any trip pins, because there aren't any. Since he's talking about making the repro barrels into extractor barrels, there's no need to replacce the joint roll.

Jeff has already said the gun is a 00 frame. That said, the joint between the 00 repro barrels and the 00 frame is not a guarantee of a smooth joint. Repros may have a consistent bolster width, but original Parker bolster widths vary.
