CSM .410 barrels vs. Dove

[C.O.B.]

Charlie my Tree Rat weapon is a Kimber .22LR and we have no Dove season in Michigan. I might use the 410 on a preserve hunt or possible Woodcock.

Pat,
I did all the chamber work and polishing. It did all be completely cure the issues with the rims hanging on the frame. However, when the gun was held sideways, the gravity didn't let the shells fall into the chambers and I decided I may encounter a problem with dirty chamber or different ammo that was tight, so I elected to shorten the extractor guide rods.

Some of the guys on the doublegun site thought that the extractors push against the breachface to cock the ejector mechanism in the forend. I discovered this is not the case by removing the extractors from the barrels and functioning the action and ejectors. They cock regardless of whether the extractors are in place.

I shortened the extractors by about .032" each and they now function flawlessly and do not allow the rims to be above the frame.

Regards
Chuck
