I just bought a Stevens 350 and I'm very pleased with it. It's a copy of an Ithaca 37 as far as I can tell. I have never taken an Ithaca down before and used pliers on the barrel nut in the wrong direction before I finally realized how the barrel removes. No damage seems terribly evident, however when I get the barrel reseated now I can see magazine tube threads. The barrel seems nice and tight in the receiver, the detent is locked solid, shells feed and eject great but I can still see a strip of magazine tube threads between the barrel lug and barrel locking nut. Is this normal or did I bugger my magazine tube?

I can post a pic later.
