I recently got this nice old 12 ga. (1923-1930) and have a ? about operation. When you fire it you have to push the slide lock release (arrow) to pump the action. is this normal for this shotgun? I have had older Stevens pumps that operated this way..

So, if your gun operates normally during live-fire, but you have to push the slide release during dry-fire, it's working as designed.
Hope this helps.
