    Action on it is closer to a Marlin than a 92, lock up is strong and positive, when you run the action it feel sturdy, i only intend to shoot regular ammo in it so i am not worry at all... JP.

    If I recall, the Lightning is considered a weaker action in the manuals. That may well refer to originals, however.

    I wouldn't hot rod one of these regardless.

    Caramel. Can you add rounds to the magazine while the action is closed?

    No, this action must be open to reload, then closed, then repump to chamber the first round... JP.

    Thanks, it's the same as an IVI Timberwolf pump.

    After I fill the magazine, I drop a loose round into the action through the ejector port and then close the action so I have a full magazine plus one in the chamber.
