I had a Remington 597 in 17 HMR. I sent the rifle in under the recall and had it rebarreled into .22 Mag. That took over 8 months so I dont really want to send it in again.

Anyway, it is a semi auto rifle and it will only shoot one round. The empty will not eject unless manually ejected. Is this thing dirty? How does it work? Should the rebarrel cause this at all?
