Firm hold vs cycling

[Joseph Scott 0]

I honed a barrel chamber with some pitting and it worked fine. Sent it back and owner replies it was erratic on cycling. Mentioned shooting prone and first magazine load worked fine and next not so. I recommended holding it tight and re-shooting. Now it works great. Lesson: he was not holding firm and gun was moving back with the bolt and case. This did not allow full bolt travel and cases were jamming. Johnson's must be held tight to prevent this problem.
