    At left the picture of yours, center a drawing of original. At right another that has been turned back to recut the chamber.

    Note how wide the area that should be in front of the barrel ring, .850"...Yours might measure .250". Yours has had the barrel set back and recut an enlarged chamber. And...the pipe wrench mark on the barrel.
