Beautiful gun Jay.....very nice......congratulations......

Yes, the closing, cocking stiffness is mostly from the ejector springs being so strong (over center compression).....most of that goes away when you remove the ejector springs.........

It makes the gun a sweet opening, closing and unloading gun, especially for reloaders who don't want their hulls in the dirt or hull dings in the finish after years of use and no need to hold your hand over the breech anymore........


Enjoy and Best Regards,
