The single bolt head on those guns does not len itself to high pressures.

There are 2 locking lugs on these old #4s at the rear of the bolt body. The head locates in the raceway and doesn't lock up. Problem with these old gals is the skinny bolt body will flex if too much pepper is put on them and the gun will be a bugger to get apart. The action was designed for rapid firing military ball ammo all day long but doesn't take too well to hot-rodding.
