So I helped a friend out by cleaning his Remington 550-1 .22 rifle for him. I have cleaned it for him before. For some reason it took forever to come clean. I kept on and kept on running patches through the bore.
Anyway, I noticed it seemed like the chamber was loose. I'm not sure if it's the chamber or what it is. The part right there where the bullet goes in. It would slide out and then if you touched it with the rod or anything it would slide back in to being flush like it normally is. However, if you pulled a patch or anything out it would slide out maybe a quarter or half of an inch. So it was like it would slightly slide in and out.
Is this normal for these guns or is something wrong?
When I got done I tried putting a shell in and cycling it by hand and while it kicked it out it seemed like it only went about a inch from the gun. It didn't kick it very far away like my 10/22 does. I thought it used to but can't remember. I can't shoot it right now to see how it does.
Did I break something or is the part that looks like the chamber supposed to slide in and out like that?
