As to the business of "throw the bolt home with some force", I think the seller is putting a round in the chamber and trying to close the bolt on it. He should be feeding the first round from the, I want to say magazine, but spool is probably more appropriate.

I would agree that it reads like they are trying to force the bolt over the cartridge rim rather than feeding it out of the magazine.
