Maybe check this first. **CAUTION** (requires a live round)

SAFETY ON

Open the action of the gun. Point the muzzle at the floor. Try to "drop in" a shell directly into the chamber with the action open. Does it fall right in? Did the shell "seat" into the chamber completely without any force?

Now, point the muzzle directly up into the air with the action still open. Did the shell fall out easily?

If the shell falls in and out of the bore freely by tilting the muzzle up or down, the chamber is not fouled.

If you find that the shell slides in and out of the bore freely, you may have a problem with the forearm slide rails where they track in and out of the receiver.
