Drew:
I'm trying to grasp your problem here.
First of all, was your trip to the range followed by a trip to the laundry? Having it fire on releasing the toggle would have scared the ****out of me.
So you released the toggle and it fired? Now, with an empty gun, does it release the striker when you snap the toggle closed? I'm having trouble understanding how premature ignition would be a barrel issue, as it sounds distinctly left side to me.
Then once it closes on a loaded (or dummy) round the extractor is behind the rim, not in the rim? But the toggle is completely closed, no gaps?
So you think that the shoulder in the chamber is too deep, letting the loaded cartridge seat too deep into the barrel?
Thanks for your clarification(s).
Another option to re-barreling would be sleeving.
