hello everyone, Nova Scotian here from Canada eh.

i just got my hands on my first gun, its a 308 savage 99e leaver action rotary mag. i love my gun, nothing really special about it. but i have noticed that when cycling the gun it is very loud. like something is sticking, it is loudest and stiffest when the leaver is about half way up and is sliding the bolt into the chamber.
im wondering if this is just how they work or if there may be something jamming up in mine.

thanks
cheers
