I'd advise being very careful with bending the extractor, it's very easy to mess it up( same with polishing the sear and hammer area)........there is a test to see if your extractor is right.......imo, a tight extractor will not cause a FTRB( it would have to be grossly bent), as the recoil spring will push the claw right thru the soft brass rim( a notch on the rim is a sign of a tight extractor)......
