I feel like I should know the answer to this but I will have to admit I am more of a collector of cool guns than a shooter of cool guns.
I came across a 1950 336 in probably 95% condition. I went out at the beginning of deer season to sight it in, thinking it would be a fun alternative to my standard killing rifle. Loaded, chambered, uhmmm. I can see the back right side of the cartridge. Upon closer inspection it looked like a very tiny piece of metal may or may not have sheered off. Couldnt tell. It could have just needed to be polished.
I went to a gun shop and they had an oldie in .35 Remington that looked like, if loaded, it would be exactly the same.
So the question I have for the board is- On older 336s is it OK if I can see the back right edge of the chambered cartridge?
Thanks
