1st you must break in to Drums house and disable his internet. Then, when he is not looking, swap him BZ's. The 1st step is important so that Drum does not see this post!

I'm only kidding. Good luck getting her fixed!

body is "hinked."

most hinking occurs when someone tightens the barrel retention screw like an animal....with no barrel installed.

Unhinking in the most kind way consists of removing retention screw completely.
Take bare brass barrel..ideally.
oil or grease said barrel.
insert carefully and firmly
twist
gently reinstall retention screw.
tighten carefully.
untighten
remove barrel, clean mess.
should be fixed.
additional unhinking requires some careful leverage to the body and is left as a last resort as to avoid anno damage.

another option is bare brass barrels turned to fit, or a dye/lapco/etc barrel turned to fit said hinked blazer.

So,
what you are saying is...
The problem is one side of the retaining clamp is essentially "twisted"
That make a little more sense now that I tried your fix.
It inserts just enough to hit the "hink" in the clamp where the tube straightens ont the barrel and forces it to bind on the hink.

That's not it, Al. It's beyond the clamp that the obstruction occurs. As near as I can see, it is a series of rings in the bore area that grabs it up.

Here's the wierd part;

I have a PPS barrel (8"2k) that fits my gun smoothly but with some resistance. That same barrel literally falls into Whisker's gun without any resistance at all. A similar 8" PPS barrel, that absolutely will not go into Whisker's two Blazers fits my Blazer almost better than the first barrel.

That one has me scratching my head....

yep hink-age. goes in the hinked front then smacks the unmoveable body edge.

depending on degree you either have to try some musclework on it or send it back for PPS to do it.

F one up enough and you can fark the body.

[incynr8]

hmm rings in the bore.....
are you certain the clamping area isn't off alignment with the body?
as viewed from the front?

And all they are going to do is use a rubber mallet and hammer a brass rod into the body.... okay maybe not that extreme.

alarmist.

[Schmitti]

Well hey, you don't have to coddle the guy. Hey Mike I'll drive down and we can beat on your gun with a drilling hammer after we have put it in a large vice and cranked it tight...that should fix it.

Seriously, Blazers have nice tolerances... this one is hinked as all described. Personally, I'd rather not try to un hink aluminum with a thin walled brass tube... the aluminum is going to win if it's hinked badly..... But your's doesn't sound like it's hinked too badly.
