All the old timers that lived everyday with them have told me that a lever gun needs to be run "smartly" to be utterly dependable. No doubt everyone has their own idea of what that means, but I took it to be brisk and deliberate, but not as a gorilla would see that. Or... the same way to properly use a pump shotgun. What I know it's NOT is to pussy-foot it open and closed, and watch all the little parts move around in the process. I've had a lot of "rounds that won't feed" suddenly do just fine when they don't have time to act up.
