A simple experiment to prove this flexing action is to stick a piece of paper tightly across the top of the breech and fire the gun. You should find that the paper is torn. Nothing to worry about as this is quite normal and everything flexes back again. This is one of the places that guns crack open undergoing Proof firing. Very rare but the extra pressure will show this weakness. I have only had one gun fail this way which was a double 20 bore black powder proof gun undergoing nitro proof. The action gaped quite a bit but was skilfully welded up and re-submitted; this time passing o.k. Lagopus.....
