[QUOTE="jakeman, post: 3616031, member: 10690"] That's just not true, at least about the Brownings. I've never shot a clone and have no desire to shoot one. I own close to a dozen A-5's. I've shot thousands and thousands of 7/8 oz loads in my A-5's. If the friction piece and ring are positioned correctly they will properly cycle very light loads. I can't tell you how many A-5's I've "fixed" for people that couldn't get them to cycle. I've never picked up an otherwise properly functioning A-5 that wasn't cycling that had the friction pieces positioned correctly. Not once. I've seen older used guns that didn't have them, but that generally presents as a different problem entirely. Could you intentionally load a shell so anemic that it wouldn't cycle the bolt, probably, but I've never seen a commercially available load that an A-5 wouldn't eject if it was put together correctly.
