[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2030720, member: 115658"] Could it be that dry firing pin impact caused this ding. I there are tools that simply iron out the inside chamber where steel has been forced into by repetitious firing pin impacts against the end of barrel. To verify this check out the location of firing pin in bolt with ding in barrel end. No need to agonize over new barrels, barrel lining, or TIG welding. Do dry firing with a spent brass or dummy cartridge thingy. Reliable RF ignition needs a good hard wack and RF rims vary in thick ness. Existing rim thickness & strength should provide enough resistance to set off primer stuff inside rim. Go to Brownell's & look for the chamber tool. It sure don't look good but gun will probably shoot good as before after simple fix. Nobody but you will look inside gun to see this but it could screw up resale value. I have seen several .22 RF barrels of pawn shop guns that have inside bore bulges caused by attempts to shoot out stuck bullets like caused by bad ammo. In this case a new barrel is needed. I can appreciate that single extractor cut - try re-barreling a Ruger M77/22 that has 2 parallel extractor cuts like at 9 & 2 o'clock. Many .22 RF's have barrels pinned in place with no cut threads, I don't have a clue how the HS is set up but if a set back is planned the single extractor cut would be easy. [/QUOTE]
