Is this a normal chamber?
Posted: 28 Feb 2013 22:29
Guys,
My rifle seems to feed OK, but can someone tell me if this is normal? A square metal tab protrudes from the face of the chamber (circled). It almost looks like something that was used in the manufacturing process which was supposed to be removed during assembly. I was ready to grind it off, but there seems to be a corresponding indentation in the bolt face that it fits into, so I left it. I'm having difficulty finding pics of other Rossi chambers for comparison. It definitely was not part of the Winchester 92s, but I realize the Rossi rifles are not exact copies too. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

I'll leave it alone.
