If you look at the gun from the muzzle end (Best taken apart for this event and double checked tobe unloaded, the curve of the forward part of the receiver should have a radius from the center of the bore that closely matches the circumference of the flange on the barrel. If the radius of the receiver seems to thin our near the top and be not a thick as it is to the left and right of the top, then the chances are VERY good that the curved surface of the top of the receiver over the chamber has been ground down to remove the previous chamber stamp.

Hope this helps.
