The fitting of the rib extension to the receiver, such as shown in the last photo, is done before it is soldered to the barrel. A barrel going off face is a change in the gap between the hook and joint roll, not the fit of the rib extension.

That’s right Edgar and when machining the hook, no matter how little, you’re drawing the barrels back into the frame a bit tighter than they were. Then the rearmost surface of the doll’s head comes into contact with the frame and it must be filed to fit… and the amount of metal that is filed off is equal to the width of the gap that remains at the shoulders of the doll’s head. It’s simple physics… “equal and opposite”.
