Check it again and see if the entire barrel is moving foreward slightly. The easiest way to do this is to closly watch while you slam the action closed. Or with the bolt open try sliding the barrel in and out. Those alumunum receivers on those series are famous for the barrel threads to wear enough for the entire barrel to move somewhat. Until it gets loose enough so it will not reliably fire don't worry about it. I see a lot of them with this problem.

I bedded my forearm to make it tight and also the barrel nut my be loose.
