Hey all!
I have a browing auto 5 i use primarily for trap. With the light trap loads, the gun doesnt fully cycle. Im sure i could MAKE it cycle by fiddling with and lubing the friction rings, but its kinda more convienient not fully cycling as i dont have to pick up hulls after they've bounced off my squad-mates. My question is, is it going to damage the gun if it doesnt cycle fully? It fires, blows the bolt back, doesnt quite manage to eject the hull, and the bolt closes again, re-chambering the spent hull. As the bolt isnt falling onto an empty chamber, but just back onto the hull, it seems unlikely that its battering the breechface or anything. Is there any problems shooting it this way, or should i fiddle with it until it ejects the light loads and invest the 15 bucks for a shell catcher?
Thanks!
