Need a little help with 1937 S/42

Hi John, Sorry I was unclear, but I'm still learning the lingo. The bolt locks back with an empty magazine and stays back when the magazine is removed. It releases and slides forward (pull it back and ride the bolt forward)only after the empty magazine has been removed. It will not lock in the back position without a magazine. As for operation with a loaded mag, I'll have to let you know tomorrow after I pick up ammo. From your instructions, I think it is operating okay. I'm just a little nervous with my new baby.
