Hello. Was given a 20ga Savage era Sterlingworth today. Looks like a Brush model, has a pistol grip, Savage era safety, ejectors (broken rods), and dates to 1939.

I was wondering if it is typical to have to manually move the top lever fully right in order to close the action or not? You have to on this gun, and while I've never handled a Sterlingworth before, that doesn't seem right somehow.

Thanks.
