O/U issue

[Nick3052]

Is this going to be an issue? It’s caused by the pin that works with the action break latch just want some opinions if this wear mark with effect anything, shoots flawlessly as is, it’s a weatherby Orion

 

[maynard]

Unless it stops the shell from seating in the chamber when the action is closed there isn't a problem.

If you'd feel better if it was gone, you could always use a small fine needle file / 600 grit emery paper and remove that tiny burr that's edging over your case's head recess. You'd be able to see how long it takes to reappear again.

It doesn’t cause an issue at all when I flip a shell around and dry fit the rim in it doesn’t have any issue fitting into it

I would be more concerned about why the lever return latch left a divot in the barrel. That pin should travel freely in its bore and at some point the barrel was closed and the pin didn't move and left a dent in the barrel. Those barrels are made out of some soft steel. Time to strip the receiver down and clean out all the little nooks and crannies.

Is that in supposed to move in and out with ease when the gun is Broke open? I can’t push it into reciever unless I push the break latch open a slight bit more then it goes in freely

 

[maynard]

bdft, good catch, I didn't look at the last picture. I took the stock off my 690 this morning and ran the receiver thru a couple cycles in my ultrasonic cleaner. No dirt, grime or carbon under the stock but the gun was dirty enough to make it a little hard to open. All good now.

 

[bdft]

That pin is supposed to move freely into the receiver when you close the action and that releases the top lever. If it's dirty or sticky or made in Turkey the pin may not move freely every time. That is what caused the dent to form in your barrel. It sounds like you need to take that apart and clean it up. Watch for tiny flying springs.

 

[cosmic]

Well - Perhaps its the pic, but the tip of the pin seems mis-shapen.

The pin does move freely in and out

How is it supposed to look?

 

[Nick3052]

When I press a shell down it doesn’t seem to nearly effect it at all, think I’ll be fine?

 

[Nick3052]

Seems fine ?

 

[bdft]

It will probably be fine. I would still clean that burr up a bit but that's just me. It's certainly not unsafe to shoot.

 

[struff55]

what make of gun ?

 

[guntech]

If the steel is soft enough for that "button" to cause that indent, eventually you may have develop a problem. Right now - no.

Weatherby Orion

 

[Nick3052]

I do

I Don’t believe it’ll get any worse then now

 

[struff55]

the reality is it should not being marking the rear of the chamber face at all so take the appropriate steps to rectify the problem
