[QUOTE="Honeybee, post: 2030960, member: 3655"] Have had 3 742's in the store in the last 2 or 3 years with the same problem, On one of them the shells were swelled like yours at the base and after examining the barrel I found that the breach of the barrel was bubble expanded. The only fix was to cut the barrel, rethread and recut the chamber. That fixed the problem but the cost was near the value of the gun. ($300) A second one had a chipped extractor that would cut the brass with the sharp edge and not pull out the shell. The last one was from years of use, the gun was just flat worn out, entire chamber was expanded from years of use and the barrel had to be replaced. [/QUOTE]
