Aloha!  Have you ever noticed......If y'all got a 92, open the action and look into it.  Notice the ejector?  That "forked" thang in front?  Now look at the space between it and the left and right cartridge guides.  Is it dead on center or is one side wider than the other?....assuming the bolt and ejector are supposed to be on center in the frame.

Reason why I'm asking is that even after advice from Nate, the rifle's still giving me fits on chambering.  The nose of the cartridge gets caught up on the upper part of the chamber so the cartridge is coming up at too steep an angle.  If it's all supposed to be on center, then it's telling me I need a shim under the right cartridge guide since the space is much larger on that side.  It's not cartridge OAL as the problem exists with any type of ammo, 45 Colt.   Plus, I've never had this problem before about a year ago.  Btw, this 92 has been my primary match rifle for almost 10 years so it very well could be time for a major work over. ;)

Your assistance is much appreciated and thanks for looking. :)
