YOT

Must be the plastic on Bianchi shells is sturdier than most. I've had the same five #4 Buck rounds in the factory mag, inserted in the gun for about two years and they'll still chamber without fail. I think I'll pick up some more of those. 😉Oh, one in the chamber with the safety on, like most of my guns. The deadliest gun is an empty one.

Necrotic, sure. I didn't mind reading it though.

I'm here, but not as ancient as some.

It doesn't show on the bottom of posts.

Ever seen the video of the tank running over the AK and the gun still works? This thread brings that into my mind. Maybe if you try that it'll straighten out the receiver and the gun will run right. Of course I jest.

It'll be interesting to see a before and after picture when you get it back. I'm not a KelTek fan. Owning a Sub2000 assured me of that, but I will say their CS is thorough, albeit slow.

What'r the chatter marks in the chamber, directly under the inserted words? Looks like a tool got away from the operator. Also, it looks like a burr directly next to the second R in "BURR".

I really wish I had the ambition to carve the rifle I built this past winter like this.

Agreed, no need of taking apart every time, or often, for that matter.

Agreed, The average shooter will likely never shoot a bolt gun to the point of erosion. I shoot quite a bit. I'd shoot a lot more if ammo was cheaper or if I was ambitious enough to reload more than I do. I think I've shot my 30/06 about 121 times, because I've counted empty boxes and killed an 8 point whitetail buck with it. I now have enough brass to clean and reload, but I still have a few boxes of factory ammo to shoot before I actually put the shoulder time in to work up a handload. Oh, the barrel is whatever came on it from the factory. That is the one thing I haven't worked on the gun, except for cleaning between every shot for the first 10 shots during break-in.

What you said. That or a spring hammer issue.
