A Rem 1100 wasn't ejecting. It was determined that the rubber gas seal had disintegrated from age and use. Anyhow, examination of the forearm showed the top (part that is near the barrel) is cracked. This was gouged out, a piece of fibreglass cloth and Acraglas applied to it and it will be allowed to cure 24 hours.
Anyway, could that crack have been caused by the escaping gases?
