[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 305198, member: 4191"] If the chamber has been cleaned and you've got scratches on the case after firing, the chamber needs to be polished. If that doesn't fix the problem, Remington should replace the rifle, because the defects in the chamber are too substantial to polish out without opening up the chamber. Opening up the chamber to clean up the defects will just reduce the brass life due to the excessive expansion upon firing and swaging of the brass back down during the reloading process. If you never plan to reload, then a slightly enlarged chamber might be liveable, but I wouldn't accept it. Remington must be hoping that a chamber polishing will take care of their lack of quality control during their chamber cutting process. [/QUOTE]
