Yes, the barrel and receiver are one piece. The chamber is generous in length and girth. Had an amateur gunsmith take a look and he said normal headspace was .065, no-go was .070 and mine is .090+. How he arrived at those measurements I don't know, headspace is off the rim. I put two pieces of tape on the cartridge head and the bolt closed just fine. Not good.
Talked about shimming the bolt but he advised against it.
I guess it is what it is, a wall hanger or a parts gun.
