I just bought a used Light 12 at a gunshow today. Japanese made, but like new. I always wanted one as my dad used one for years as I was growing up. Anyway, after getting it home, I notice that the barrel doesn't seem to be all the way into the reciever. The frictions rings are properly placed and the screw cap is as far as it will go. I screwed it in as I pushed down the barrel- it won;t go any further. What I am noticing is right at the receiver, about a 16th of an inch of the barrel is not quite down in the reciever. It is a little ring in the white (not blued). According to all the pictures I can find, the barrel ought to be flush with the reciever at that point. Any ideas, I can post pictures if I have to but it would be a hassle.

Thanks for your help anyone,
