Have had this clip fed rifle for a number of years, but it has always bothered me that the barrel is canted to one side, meaning that the iron sites are not in line with the receiver. It is accurate with a scope, but the stud which the front take-down screw goes through is also canted. It cannot be tightened without pulling the forearm to that side of the barrel. At the time, Remlington owned Marlin and I sent it in. They did nothing to it other than give it an accuracy test.
Seems as though if I want the problem corrected, it's up to me, so my questions are:
How difficult is it to drive the barrel retaining pin out? Should that pin be replaced with a new? If so, where to get?
Once the pin is reinstalled, will the rifle still be accurate?
