Remington model 17 question

Post by Rhinogib »

Hello. I'm a Rem. model 17 owner looking for help. I have Model 17 that has a spacer (it looks like a washer with a slot cut through it for the extractor...."C" shaped) between the receiver and the barrel. Is this common or an indication of head space problems? I find it difficult to keep it in the proper place when mounting the barrel (it some times takes several tries). Does anyone else have this spacer?
