What position is the Lever in when you Snap the gun closed, and how long have you owned it? Did you or some one replace the ''WEAR'' Plate on the locking bolt? If the answer is yes, it may not be fitted properly.

It is usually a bolt bite issue. Or a weak/broken top lever spring. But usually the bolt.

My SC does that on occasion with 3 dram 1 1/8 oz loads. My shoulder can’t stand a steady diet of 3 dram shells so I am delaying getting it fixed. I load very light 3/4 or 7/8 oz. Loads and never have an issue. Score is not a big issue with me but comfort and pain is.

I assume an SBT "wear plate" is something along the same lines as the locking plate in something like a 101, Citori etc. and not shaped like the locking block in my Perazzi's?

Parker bolting from a 1930 catalog.

The fit of the replaceable "bolt plate" is critical as well as the strength of the top-lever spring.
