Pre-fit barrel

[samuraiwarrior23]

Is this normal to have exposed threads inside the action in the photo?
the barrel is seated all the way into the action.

Not unusual to have some. Thats quite a few. What receiver? Check the headspace if you have gauges. If you can drop a loaded round into the chamber, close the bolt
on it, and then extract the round, youre fine.

[Supersubes]

That's the locking lug territory.
Find yourself a cutaway drawing/photo of a Remington 700 and it'll look the same
