Not my primary rifle but I don't like walking around with a chambered round and don't want to top-load in a hurry if I can help that.

Thanks.
Unless you really know your way around guns this is not an easy fix. Take it to a good smith and have it fixed right. There is nothing more annoying than a gun that won't feed reliably. In my world they either get fixed to be 100% reliable or they go down the road. There are too many places where a bad feeding rifle can really mess you up.
