[QUOTE="Dr. Barry Greyson, post: 841966, member: 555"] Hey...T'99 The chamber looks good but the mark on the right might be the extractor nose hitting the barrel,that is if the extractor is installed in the slide. The cut out notch on the right is supposed to relieve the barrel to prevent this contact. So I suggest that you ink up the barrel with some magic marker in that slot and check the clearance. The mark in the photo might only be a smudge mark and not be a mark from the ejector but I suggest you check this before firing to make sure with the ejector installed. You also need to check the headspace on the barrel chamber...just because it is polished doesn't mean the depth of the chamber is correct. Headspace .40S&W=.857". Headspace is the distance from the breachface to the case mouth rim in the bottom of the chamber. Good luck with your project. Barry [/QUOTE]
