I have seen so many early 28 gauge guns that had tight rim recesses. One I owned came from the grandson of a woman in Tampa Florida, who only shot brass cased ammo because paper shells swelled in the Florida humidity. I had passed on my set of James Hayes rim cutters to another member, but borrowed the 28 ga tool back. It took all of ten minutes to open up both recesses.
Hard to imagine Larry Delgrego not knowing how to open them up.
