Took it out to the bench behind the house this morning to see if it would feed/fire/cycle ok. No issues/problems at all. Interesting thing I found out is that after you fire a round, the bolt stays back until you release the trigger ... different. Nice little .22. 25 yards, 20 rounds. 1st 5 aimed COM. Last 15 aimed 6 o'clock, open sights, bench but no rest.

I's say it cleaned up real nice. Looks to shoot real well too.

Neat huh, threw me at first to. Got a model 6 after that for a pest rifle at the hunting camp after I played around with the 7.

I would think that trigger-bolt thing would be selectable. It does it for every shot? Seems like a pita after a while.

Yep, every shot, as long as you hold the trigger the bolt doesn't run forward and load the next shell.

The very first guns did not hold the bolt back, the trigger assembly was set up to just catch the striker or hammer or what ever it was called, that apparently led to problems and the bolt hold back was an early design change. The parts catalogs do not list any parts for the earliest guns but have a note that says the only repair for them is to do a conversion to the later type action. I think holding the heaviest part back helped slow the movement down so the timing was not as critical to keep the guns from going full auto.
