If that works, load a single round (with the magazine in place) and fire. If the toggle does not lock back it could mean that the recoil spring is too strong or the ammo too weak.

Action feels real good disconnected. Nice and smooth!
Just tested with a full magazine. Shells won't eject out, by just cocking back and forth. I believe the ejector is broke.
Any dimensions?
Is there a spring in the rear end of it?
I don't have one.
