The bolt stays back, but does not go back far enough to allow the next shell to be ejected from the magazine tube. When it first started, the bolt was not even going back far enough to eject the fired case. Cleaned and tore down the bolt and trigger group, it is better that the bolt goes back, but still not far enough to load the second shell. The recoil spring seems to be clean enough. It does cycle easily with a pencil and does not appear to have any dirt in it. If the recoil spring tube needs to come apart I will need some quick directions on how to take it apart.
