The one pictured is one of the most attractive looking ones I have ever seen.

I had a Chinese made one which would sometimes totally lock the bolt with Chinese ammo. I would have to take a block of wood and beat it open.

I gave it to a guy and he never had that problem. It must have been the ammo as he used a commercial soft point.

With some models, this procedure is actually recommended in the instruction book.

Yes, there actually was an instruction book.
Went out of print in 1933 or so, but still...

That is the well documented "sticky bolt syndrome."
Fairly simple to eliminate.
