Gently is the key word here - there is no need to "baby" them closed. In fact, guns with pawl-type rotary bolts that key through the opening in the extended rib (LC Smith, Fox, etc.) are better served by firm closing - not slamming them shut, but allowing the bolt to go home without impeding it in any way. Full travel of the bolt in this situation prevents undue/premature wear through insufficient surface contact of the bearing surfaces.

I think DT knows how to close a shotgun and realizes that the Czar's Gun isn't going to wear out from being snapped shut. In my opinion, "stock lifters" are very showy in their attempts to be British. It's a girly thing. You won't catch DT stock lifting and he's a real Brit.
