Smoking the ledge shows a pretty nice fit with the underside of the bolt. When closing the gun gently, as described at the beginning, all is smooth and wonderful. Snapping shut is likely not advised, but it happens. When it does, it feels like the bolt linkages are over-traveling and becoming wedged somewhat and then hard to extract by working the top lever again. I get that one answer is not to snap the gun shut, but if that does happen, is it normal for a Parker's bolt to overtravel in this way? I've never handled another Parker, so I don't know. The Foxes in the family don't do this, so I'm looking to learn about the expected behavior of the Parker.
