No. You have read it wrong. I have NOT shot it a lot. I thought I might have shot it in the past a FEW times, but given that it will NOT close on a factory round makes me think I never shot it and have confused it with my other 1903. STILL LOOKING FOR A GUNSMITH recommendation because my earlier hope is a bit delayed for now.

Well, Chuckindenver has sure worked his share and I'm pretty sure he has a set of gauges and reamers...ship it off to him and he'll return it with a warranty.
