Hey folks,
My brother gave me an old Remington 7400 awhile back. He got it as part of a trade years ago but didn't take it apart, clean (other than a few patches through the bore) or use it other than a trip or two to the range. His recollection is that it shot well...I recall shooting it but couldn't tell you if it function well. Sadly, neither of our memories are getting better these days.
Anyway, I finally got around to taking it apart to clean it. It's clear the PO never disassembled it and it was really dirty. The barrel/rifling, receiver rail, bolt and trigger assembly look great, with very little wear and doesn't seem to gave had a high round count through it. Brother recalls the PO saying he hunted deer with it.
But, as I'm cleaning it I notice what appears to be a crack on the gas port tube. See picture.
Guessing this isn't normal. Can/could the rifle even cycle, fire, eject and feed with that?
Thanks in advance.
