I have both rifles GB= 22LR and BB=44 mag....

The 22 LR is smooth as silk ....where as the design, and of course the size is different for the BB. It is a bit "chunky" and just wondering if it's suppose to be that way.

During my shoot yesterday, I ran 125 rounds through my BB as it's brand new and had 3 "failure-to-eject" rounds.... I just reached in and flicked them out...and believe it was associated with it was starting to gum up with fouling etc.....125 successive rounds seemed to move well except for a few...

Anyway....just wondering your thoughts on the smoothness of the lever action....like how do you know it's an issue....??
