Thanks for helping out. My Enfield's bolt jumps about halfway out of battery when I fire the gun.

It's very smooth and shiny on all of the contact surfaces and smoother than silk in action. My problem is that I get the jitters whenever the bolt handle goes up like that. I've been told this is normal but Don't like it and don't know why it does it. Any comments. And no, it's not for sale either.
