I haven't fired this yet (NICS delay) but the receiving dealer said he thought screws over the chamber was an unsafe practice.
Would you fire it?

It would depend on how deep the holes are and What kind of rifle /22 Long Rifle rim fire or high pressure Centerfire.
Darn good point - this is a 44 mag Ruger.

I used to recruit for the NRA until they sold us down the river (again!) in Heller v. DC. See my auctions (if any) under username henryreilly

There are four holes drilled in the top of the receiver; however, the forward two ARE NOT for scope mounting, they hold the cartridge guide plate in place.

Henry if you are worried about shooting it , just send it to me and i'll try her out for a few years just too make sure its safe for you
i figure 10-15 years should be long enought to put your mind at ease that its a safe gun after that you could enjoy the rifle knowing full well that it had been put thru the mill and came out fine [:D][:D][;)]
Besides if the holes are not any deeper than the dovetail sight cutout, what's the problem ?
lever action .44 is not, but then the scope attachment on top of the reciever is also different.

You guys made me dig mine out of the back of one of my old safes, and it has the same screws in the same place. I don't play with mine much, a pain in the butt to load and unload.

They are easy to unload. Just pull the trigger.
