Well, we took it to a gunsmith today and he didn't really instill a whole lot of confidence in us but he told us it should be find to shoot in his opinion. That along with what others have said online has me thinking we will just put it back together and shoot it.

He said that's made like that. Then when I said I wasn't sure he looked alittle closer and looked at the gun. He then told me that I was missing an extractor. I told him the 550 had 2 extractors but the 550-1 had switched to only 1 extractor. He didn't seem to believe me. He went into the back and I saw him pick up a book. He came back out a few seconds later so I'm not sure he had looked into the book. He looked at the gun closer with a light and said everyone he had seen had 2 extractors.

I asked him so he thought the other thing was fine to shoot and he said yea that should be fine. So I guess I will just put it back together.
