I've been fiddling with my Mossberg 500, turning it into a dedicated HD shotgun, and I'm finally done with it. But when reattaching the 18.5" barrel I noticed this gap. It may have always been that way and I just never noticed, but it seems a bit too much. It racks and operates fine. Is this normal? I removed the little lock washer thingy that keeps the bolt in place that's why the bolt is not there. I simply do not remember that before.
