I think the bolt design was extremely advanced for the time.The flaw is a minor one and it is surprising it hasn't become the standard bolt action design.Our modern turn bolt rifles are are not as advanced.I had read somewhere that the trigger has a roller bearing incorporated into the assembly as well.The case has more slope to it and should help the smoothness and reliability in chambering a round.Geez and this was over a hundred years ago, modern rifle makers really have no vision by comparision-the lever gun design was brilliant too, and even farther back...just a thought
