The purpose of manually pushing the carrier stop push button would be to lock back the bolt without pulling the trigger. Other than that, there is no need to push the button. When a live round is fired, the bolt releases the button, to load the next shell or lock the bolt back on the last shell. I hardly ever push the button. You can also lock the bolt back by pulling the trigger on an empty chamber and pulling the lever back. Put a shell in the ejection port, push the button on the side to close the bolt, load another shell or shells in the magazine, and you are good to go. Mark
