The more they are used the longer they get. I welded mine up, and then fitted a Mini compensator to Mrs Noc's 75.
They might stretch open where they're not sealed but, if you turn them over the tooling marks line up in the bend in the same place on all of them. It really does mean that they're not made the same length. I can post another picture if you're not convinced, the bend tooling marks are the same where it reaches around the pin, all level. It's the process of putting them together that was flawed, they do not roll themselves out around the pin or there would be just a kink in the metal.
