Hey, guys, I know all the theory on headspace and that gun really has excess headspace and lots of it. The barrel collar has apparently been turned out or has stripped the receiver threads so that the barrel has moved forward taking the foreend with it.

With the barrel way out, the bolt is not able to reach it to chamber the round or fire, which is good because if the round had gone off it could have burst and possibly ruined the receiver completely.

To get at the barrel collar, you will have to take off the forend and take off the barrel collar cover. Then you can probably see what happened and correct it if possible.
