[QUOTE="WapitiBob, post: 863718, member: 38015"] I had a factory Rem 7STW. Virgin brass, when fired would leave obvious stretch marks ahead of the belt. Once fired brass would occasionally stick in the chamber. I replaced the barrel last week and upon inspection, there is a "ring" in the barrel chamber, ahead of the belt. Appears to be a "bubble" under the skin of the metal, for lack of a better explanation and extends nearly the full way around the chamber. I had about 200 shots on the factory barrel when I replaced it. The replacement barrel leaves no stretch marks on the brass and as a side note, none of my once fired brass would chamber in the new barrel until I resized that swelled area ahead of the belt. Gunsmith said there was .008 headspace on the factory barrel and .050 more freebore than the replacement barrel. [/QUOTE]
