Howdy gents.
New here with some questions I hope y'all can give answers to.
At the end of last year, I bought a Uberti Win 73 Deluxe Sporter with a 18" barrel. Didn't like the barrel so I had it fitted with a half octagon/round 24" one.
Went to the range for the first time with it and using Remington Factory ammo cominced to punching holes in paper.
The Issue I had was occasionally one of the rounds would hang up when trying to run the bolt home. When cleaning, I disassembled the action and noted that the barrel face had not been notched like the upper that was for the extractor pawl to fit into. There was a sharp edge that my rounds were catching on I surmise.
My question is thus. Is there suppose to be a lower notch also, and the facing of the barrel at the bottom, is there suppose to be a sharp edge?
I thought perhaps it needed to be beveled like the feed ramp on my 1911.
My other question is actually not a question but a comment. When buying gun powder, pay attention to the brands and series .......I thought I was buying Allant RL7, but got Accurate #7......they ain't the same.
