What I would do is very carefully insert a cleaning rod down the barrel till it stops, mark the rod then when you remove the rod hold it on top of the barrel with the mark level with the muzzle and see whether the rod went all the way to the app position of the bolt face if it shows its about 2" shy of the bolt face then there is something very sinister lurking in the chamber.
If the rod extends to the bolt face then all is well , I do try not to look down barrels after seeing that guy with the pump action 12 gauge shotty on youtube it reinforces my view on it.
