I picked up an 18" CYL Express barrel for a good price and tried to put it on my 1967 Wingmaster today. It is tough to seat and it doesn't seat all the way as seen in the pictures. The bolt locks up in the locking lug recess of the barrel, and the shotgun fires, extracts, and ejects fine. It's just a bit of a gap where the original Wingmaster would seat flush with the receiver.
Is this an issue? I'm thinking from the first picture that the ejector groove in the Express barrel is not cut correctly and is stopping prematurely on the ejector in the receiver. I think filing this groove to relieve some material will allow the barrel to slide all the way in. Thoughts?
