vampire upper .. I am betting sharp corners on the extension lugs as well .Happening on extraction
a little Flitz polish and a felt wheel on a dremel tool will take care of that in a jiffy

Cleaned mine up with a dremel tool and they went away. Really sharp. Never touched the bolt - but if it worked...
