Thanks Ruger, I had reached the same conclusion about not using the gunsmith any more. I have carefully cleaned the rifle but it made no difference. The problem does not seem to be the action but rather the chamber. The spent case sticks very thightly, sometimes has to be punched out with a dowel. Is there any way to polish the chamber? This was a "truck gun" for several years so it was exposed to harsh conditions and may have some scratches in the chamber.
