The bolt on the right is a typical Mauser with control feed replete with claw and the lugs. Pushing the bolt forward into the receiver and pushing the bolt down to lock incurs the normal friction and resistance.
Notice the bolt on the left does not exhibit lugs. However, when you push the CS bolt forward and down to lock this happens.
Notice just above the bolt handle, there are now three protruding blocks that fit in recesses built into the rear ring of the receiver. No friction/resistance. I have number of bolt actions and none work this smoothly. Proverbial butter comment.
"This bolt action rifle was manufactured just twelve years (1973-1985), by JP Sauer of Germany for Colt. According to the serial number chart below, only 15,600 rifles were produced from 1973 through 1978."
Key word is Germany.
